The teaching takes place in the clinic, OR, on the wards, or in small sit-down discussion sessions. There are scheduled lectures for the students with attendings, and the final surgery exam has questions from these lectures. Students take night call every third night with the resident. The URO-4 resident is responsible for giving an initial grade to the medical students, as well as an initial evaluation of the family practice resident. The attending reviews and approves these grades before submission.
Nurses have a special interest in urodynamics.
There are four cystoscopy rooms and six patient exam rooms. Residents see all outpatients first and decide on a plan of management after presenting the case to the URO-4 resident. The URO-4 resident then presents complex patients to the attending in the clinic. The URO-4 resident may delegate the presentation to a more junior person for simpler or straightforward cases. Many patients are seen first by medical students or the rotating Family Practice resident.
