UROL 709B Pediatric Urology (4-week)

Credits: 4
This is a two or four-week rotation intended for students early in their clinical experience who are interested in an introduction to Pediatric Urology. Students work closely with house staff and faculty and participate in all educational activities of the OHSU urology program. Students can expect to observe and participate in the management of a variety of pediatric urological disorders in an inpatient, operative, and outpatient setting. Students may be exposed to a wide range of conditions, including urinary tract infections, vesico-ureteral reflux, hydronephrosis, undescended testis, hypospadias, and common pediatric urologic problems. Students will spend 2 or 4 weeks at Doernbecher. Students will be asked to complete the National Medical Student Curriculum in Urology (online) as well as other assigned reading during their rotation. They will complete a short examination based on their readings at the end of the rotation.
