MIR Residents

Fundació Puigvert is a reference university center in Urology and Nephrology, with over 40 years of experience in training MIR residents.

Every year, we welcome five new MIR (three in Urology and two in Nephrology), as well as rotators from other centers and other autonomous communities who wish to carry out part of their training at Fundació Puigvert.

We offer a highly specialized teaching program, with access to all clinical, surgical, and research areas of the institution.
