IV. RESOURCES
Standard B.4
"There must be sufficient resources including teaching faculty, the number and variety of patients, physical and technical resources, as well as the
supporting facilities and services necessary to provide the opportunity for all residents in the program to achieve the educational objectives and
receive full training as defined by the specialty training requirements in the specialty or subspecialty."
Where the resources to provide "full training" are not available at the sponsoring university, several different types of inter-university affiliations may be
negotiated, as stated in the grey book "General Information Concerning Accreditation of Residency Programs." It should be noted that the exchange of
residents between two fully accredited programs does not require an inter-university affiliation.

14. Summary of Adequacy of Resources
Comment on the adequacy of the resources in the overall clinical program, with particular reference to the
relationship between such resources and the number of residents dependent upon them. Include consideration of the
following questions:
Are there significant areas where the workload of the teachers (clinical care, undergraduate teaching,
etc.) is such as to affect adversely the continuous supervision and instruction of residents in urology?
What is the average number of beds (or range) available to the program?
Do all senior residents have an opportunity to be in charge of a clinical teaching service?
Are the numbers of patients available for teaching sufficient to provide for residents from general
surgery, neurosurgery, or other services, without adverse effects upon the training of residents in
urology?
Are the diagnostic and basic science facilities sufficient to provide adequate teaching and experience for
residents in urology in addition to other residents sharing the same facilities?
