The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is an international non-profit organization dedicated to serving the poor and providing others with the opportunity to serve. This experience will expose the student to the various cultural, environmental and socio-economic factors that impact health status, access to needed services and the delivery of care.
Students participate in morning and afternoon rounds with the urology resident and consultant. Students spend half their time in the urologic clinic learning about the office practice of urology; the other half of their time is spent in the operating room.
The urological & surgical service is a combined clinic- and hospital-based adult comprehensive surgical service within St. Luke's Hospital. Students are exposed to the complete range of adult urologic problems, from Genito-urinary malignancy to the urological evaluation of incontinence. Students learn about urologic surgery, assist with clinical urology, review urological imaging studies, and examine pathological tissues removed at the time of surgery.
Exposure to urologic oncology, incontinence and voiding dysfunction, Endourology and stone disease, female and male reconstructive urology will comprise most of the exposure. The rotation serves as much to educate the students about the field of urology as it does to educate on a potential career in Urology. The rotation is highly interactive and designed to get the students involved with all department members, including didactic conferences.
This selective experience will offer students the opportunity to witness and participate in the care of patients with urologic disorders and the practice of urology.
