Dedicated Academic Half-Day Teaching
Residents are freed from their clinical duties to attend the Monday-afternoon teaching sessions, which are based on Campbell’s Textbook of Urology. Topics include uro-pathology; uro-radiology; ethics; doctors as communicators, health advocates, scholars and managers; epidemiology and critical appraisal. The sessions also include staff seminars and problem-based learning. Invited guest speakers from other medical disciplines will lead some sessions.
Academic Symposia
These symposia are held monthly on a Wednesday afternoon. They are mandatory for all PGY-1 residents and optional for PGY-2 residents.
Core Surgery
Lecture series held monthly for PGY-1 and PGY-2 residents in preparation for the Principles of Surgery exam. There are two practice multiple-choice exams annually, the results of which are for the resident’s use only and are not considered in the resident’s evaluation.
Journal Club
The Journal Club, which introduces residents to the mainstream current urologic literature, is held monthly between September and June on a Thursday evening. Attendance is mandatory for residents and all academic staff are also encouraged to participate.
