"If I am fortunate enough to match into your program as a urology resident, one thing you will quickly discover is that my drive and passion for succeeding in medicine are second to none. I would come here ready and willing to dedicate as much time as possible to becoming an expert in clinical practice and research, as I want to become a leader in the field early in my career.
