VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Selective 1. DESCRIPTION: Consists of a 4-week period during which students are involved in an overview of urology and its subspecialties through daily clinics, ward work, and the operating room. This clerkship exposes a student to general and specialty based urology (oncology, female neurourology, pediatric urology, endourology, and minimally invasive surgery, make sexual dysfunction). During the clerkship, students learn broad concepts regarding the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of the common diseases of the genitourinary tract. Students in this clerkship are an integral part of the service. Every effort is made to provide students with as much personal contact with faculty and residents as is possible and appropriate for positive patient care. The daily clinics of the various faculty expose students to ambulatory urological care and provide them with an opportunity to take urologic histories and physicals. Students are expected to take part in patient ward care and to attend at surgery on those patients observed on the ward. Students are expected to attend weekly patient care conferences, research conferences, Journal Club, and Grand Rounds and read suggested literature. Students will be required to complete a final exam during this rotation. Please note: This is not a Sub-I clerkship. No approval needed for adjustments in dates if period is not full.

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Selective 1. DESCRIPTION: Provides an excellent and unique opportunity for a student to become independent and proficient at clinical skills. The student will be actively involved with responsibilities in the operating room, the outpatient clinic and the inpatient ward. The clerkship emphasizes common benign and malignant diseases of the genitourinary tract in adults. In addition to broad exposure to the field of urology, special emphasis is placed on causes and treatment of urinary tract obstruction in the adult, urinary stone disease, genitourinary oncology, and management of neurogenic bladder and its complications in the spinal cord injured patient. General aspects of preoperative evaluation, operative and postoperative care of the surgical patient are also emphasized, and as such, this is an excellent first surgical rotation. In addition to the clinical experiences, there are weekly conferences in GU Radiology, GU Pathology, GU Oncology, as well as didactic sessions on selected topics in urology throughout the course.

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Selective 1. DESCRIPTION: Similar to Urology 308A, except that the student assumes greater responsibility and hands on patient care. The urology service at the county hospital is very busy, and students follow their own patients from the outpatient/office setting through surgical procedures or hospitalization to follow-up care. There is a close relationship with the junior and senior resident in urology, allowing extensive clinic, ward and operating room teaching experience. Fundamental concepts of urology are covered in clinics and on rounds, but most valuable is the expected ancillary reading related to individual patient diseases and problems. This provides immediate feedback and motivation for conceptual understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of urologic disease. Common and exotic problems come through the county hospital; exposure to all age groups and both sexes is the norm. There are many opportunities to study healthcare disparities in underserved patients who have limited access to care and present in the later stages of various urologic diseases. Students will be required to complete a final exam during this rotation. Please note: This is not a Sub-I clerkship. PREREQUISITES: None. PERIODS AVAILABLE: 1-12, full-time for 2 weeks or 4 weeks, 1 student per period. CLERKSHIP DIRECTOR: Christopher Elliott M.D. CLERKSHIP COORDINATOR: Taranjit Bains, bainstj@stanford.edu.
