Course Information

Description

This course gives students broad exposure to reconstructive techniques and urologic disease in adults and children. For three weeks the students will rotate on the urology service at Brigham & Women's Hospital, and for one week the students will rotate at Boston Children's Hospital. The students will have access to robotic, laparoscopic, and abdominal ultrasound simulators in a dedicated simulation lab. The experience includes opportunities for rotation in the operating room, general and oncology clinics, multidisciplinary speciality clinics (spina bifida, bladder exstrophy, urolithiasis), and urodynamics. Special emphasis is given to genitourinary reconstruction for acquired and congenital disease. A 20-minute presentation on a urologic topic of the student's choice is to be given at the end of the rotation to trainees and faculty. The students will also have the opportunity to attend research conferences and assist in available projects.
