How to read this directory

Years refer to the urology match unless otherwise labeled. Cole Nipper’s 2023 date is a reported residency start. Khue Tran’s 2025 match year comes from the UIG’s supplied record; Mayo’s official profile confirms the residency program. A match destination is historical and does not guarantee a person’s current training level.

Program and A&M affiliation are supported by the linked institutional profiles or announcements. Entries do not imply that an alumnus has agreed to mentor students. Last checked October 21, 2026.
