This rotation is intended for fourth-year students considering a career in Urology. Students function in a sub-intern role with residents and faculty on the urology service and participate in all educational activities of the UPMC urology program.
Students can expect to observe and participate in the management of a wide variety of adult and pediatric urological disorders in an outpatient, inpatient, and operative setting. Students will be exposed to the full range of urologic subspecialties, including urologic oncology, male infertility, stone disease, and male reconstructive urology. Students will spend 1 week at UPMC Presbyterian, 1 week at UPMC Shadyside, 1 week at UPMC Mercy, and 1 week at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Students will give a presentation at the weekly departmental Grand Rounds at the end of the rotation.
