Yale Urology Sub-Internship Program

Sub-internships give medical students a chance to gain clinical experience at a hospital. They usually come before applying for a residency at that hospital. To qualify, visiting students must be in their 3rd, 4th, or 5th year of medical school. They also need at least six months of clinical training.

Through Yale School of Medicine, Yale Urology offers a four-week sub-internship, usually between July and October. Sub-internships outside this four-month window are rarely approved.

These are the 2026 program dates:

• July 20 - Aug 14
• Aug 17 - Sept 11
• Sept 14 - Oct 9

The rotation gives a detailed look at different sub-specialties and practice set ups in urology.

These include urologic oncology, minimally invasive urology, and endourology. It also covers lower urinary tract dysfunction, genitourinary reconstructive surgery, andrology/sexual medicine, urogynecology/reconstructive, and pediatric urology. The sub-intern will be a part of the urologic team and actively participate in the clinic, the OR, and on rounds.

The sub-internship is an opportunity for students to showcase their abilities. Evaluators will base their assessments on clinical performance, knowledge, and professionalism. Participation in the sub-internship will not guarantee a residency interview. However, it will be part of a full review of one’s application.

Yale Urology sub-internships are offered to students with a strong interest in pursuing residency training in urology. The department’s education team chooses each sub-I. Marianne Casilla-Lennon, MD, leads this team. She is director of medical education at Yale School of Medicine’s Department of Urology.

The committee may consider highly qualified international applicants.
