The above will take place in the following settings:
  • Adult Urology BJH Inpatient Service, where the student will participate in patient rounds and work alongside the Urology Inpatient Team of house staff and NPs
  • Adult Urology Outpatient Service in the Center for Advanced Medicine (CAM), where the student will observe attendings in an ambulatory clinic setting and will also participate in taking a focused urologic history and physical examination
  • Adult Urology Operating Rooms in Parkview Tower (PVT), where the student will help to facilitate operative care through different phases (i.e., pre-op, intra-op, post-op) and will participate, when appropriate, in the surgeries
  • Adult Urology BJH Consult Service, where the student will help the Consult Team in providing urologic consultation in the inpatient and ED settings
  • Adult Urology Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital, where the student will observe attendings in the ambulatory clinic setting and also participate in taking a focused urologic history and physical examination; and will help to facilitate operative care through different phases and will participate, when appropriate in the surgeries
  • Pediatric Urology OR and outpatient clinic at SLCH, where the student will participate in the care of the pediatric urologic patient
Throughout the Urology ACR, the student will be under the supervision of the attending staff and house staff.

Note that students have the opportunity for exposure to the spectrum of subspecialties within Urology, including Urologic Oncology, Reconstructive Urology, Endourology/Minimally Invasive Urology, Men's Health/Infertility, Female Urology, and Pediatric Urology. If a student has a specific request for distinct exposure to one or more of these subspecialties, they should reach out to the Course Director in advance, and efforts will be made to accommodate those requests.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
