About this exam
The American Board of Urology Qualifying Examination is a board-certification examination for physicians who have completed urology residency and meet the American Board of Urology’s current eligibility requirements. It assesses medical knowledge and clinical judgment across the specialty; it is not an exam for admission to a urology residency. Candidates should confirm application requirements and the examination process in the ABU’s current materials, since policies and cycle details can change.
Review broadly across urology, with attention to applying evidence and choosing appropriate diagnosis and management—not just memorizing facts. Core areas include urinary tract anatomy, embryology, and physiology, as well as prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and kidney and upper tract urothelial cancer. Build a study plan around the current exam blueprint and your weaker topics, then use timed question sets to identify gaps and practice clinical reasoning. Online multiple-choice practice can supplement, but not replace, authoritative references and guideline review.
How to prepare for the American Board of Urology Qualifying Examination
- Start with the ABU’s current candidate information and exam blueprint, then map its content areas against your recent clinical experience and knowledge gaps.
- Review core sciences and major urologic conditions systematically, including urinary tract anatomy, embryology, and physiology and the diagnosis and management of prostate, bladder, kidney, and upper tract urothelial cancers.
- Use timed question sets to practice applying clinical knowledge, review the reasoning behind missed answers, and verify evolving recommendations with current professional guidelines and authoritative sources.
