OVERVIEW

This M4 elective is for medical students who wish to gain additional exposure to urology or has special interest in VCU prior to the residency application process. Through this experience, you will gain insight into resident life at VCU urology, build lasting relationships with our faculty and residents, and expand your urologic knowledge. The student will be an integral part of the inpatient team, participating in daily rounds and OR cases with residents and faculty. Students will have the opportunity to attend outpatient clinics as well as weekly urology Grand Rounds. At the conclusion of the rotation, students are invited to present a 15-minute evidence-based lecture at Urology Grand Rounds. We also have a hands-on clay modeling exercise that is completed during your time here. The rotation consists of 3 weeks on the adult service and 1 week on the pediatrics service. Exit interviews with faculty are arranged prior to the end of the rotation which serves as the formal residency interview. Students have the additional optional opportunity to collaborate in urologic clinical research.

Applications are processed through the VCU School of Medicine using the VSLO system.
