M3 Students

The Department of Urology offers a one- or two-week elective for M3 students during their general surgery rotation at Cleveland Clinic Akron General or Summa Health. The goal of this rotation is to provide an introduction for the student into the surgical subspecialty of urology and to acquaint the student with:

• the scope of urology as a surgical subspecialty including surgical, inpatient, emergency room and ambulatory care exposure
• exposure to various diseases of the genitourinary tract, their pathophysiology, evaluation and treatment
• achieve basic understanding of various urologic imaging techniques
• review the anatomy and physiology of the genitourinary tract

The chief resident in urology serves as the supervisor for this M3 rotation. There is no on-call requirement for this rotation.
