Catalog Description:  The goal of the two-week Urologic Surgery Externship is to provide students with basic principles of Urology that they are likely to see and encounter in a general medical practice. Pediatric and adult urology are available every two-week rotation. Included in pediatric urology are subjects such as the work-up of a neonatal abdominal mass, posterior urethral valves, testicular torsion, UTIs and enuresis. Subjects in adult urology include urologic emergencies, infections, hematuria, stones, prostate cancer, and erectile dysfunction. At the completion of the rotation the student should be able to read an IVP, place Foley catheters, and read a urinalysis.

Special Instructions:  Each location has a specific number of students it can accommodate per period. Be sure to specify your hospital preferences.
