This four-week elective is intended for the less experienced medical student to provide a hands-on experience in a surgical specialty. Students will be exposed to the urology service working closely with both attending and resident staff. Time will be spent in the outpatient clinic, operating room, and on the inpatient floors to provide exposure to all aspects of the practice of urologic surgery. The focus is on urologic oncology but students will also have exposure to patients with a wide range of general urologic diseases. The course objectives are: to learn to take a urologic history and perform a focused urologic physical examination; to develop experience in the performance of basic urologic procedures, possibly even to include cystoscopy; to become familiar with the proper evaluation and treatment of common urologic diseases such as prostate cancer, bladder cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and urolithiasis; and to develop expertise in the role and interpretation of a wide array of imaging studies utilized in urology.
