Yes, but only if they have done a transplant fellowship. Most kidney transplants in the US are done by transplant surgeons (ie. general surgery trained). There are a few places that have transplant urology programs (ie. urologists doing transplants). Cleveland Clinic and SUNY Stonybrook are the 2 I have heard about. Urologists also frequently participate in transplant by doing the donor nephrectomies. You don't need subspecialty training for that.
It is very competitive, but probably not more so then Ortho or ENT (all of which are more competitive then "ROAD," with the exception of the D for Derm). It's hard to compare directly as the AUA match doesn't release stats like average step 1 score. It's a small field, so unmatched percentage will vary a lot with the number of applicants in any given year.

I solely went of % people matched last year which was very low lower then plastics, derm, neuro you name it...
I wonder if it is because the previous years it was in the 80s and the swinging surgeons went for it...
