Course Description This four-week elective rotation is designed only for senior medical students and visiting students seeking exposure to the field of urology, perhaps to enhance an alternate career choice. The student will participate in the evaluation and treatment of patients with urologic disorders and management of these patients. Students will do rotations at University Hospital, Children's Hospital of Alabama and Birmingham Veteran's Administration Hospital. The time on each rotation will be structured toward the student's interest. Students will work with faculty and residents in evaluating patients in the outpatient clinic, making rounds in the hospital, and observing surgical procedures in the operating room. A presentation at the conclusion of the elective IS NOT required. Student performance will be evaluated by the faculty with input from the urology residents.
Where To Report Contact 2-3 business days before rotation begins for further instructions.
Requirements See Course Description.
Evaluation Pass/Fail. Student performance will be evaluated by the faculty with input from the urology residents.
