Aims

With a restricted group of motivated students, we will develop a practical approach to daily urological problems, based on actual clinical cases. Interactivity and personal involvement is positively encouraged.

Main themes

Main clinical scenarios in clinical practice: Genito-urinary trauma, acute urinary retention, uretral catheterization, incontinence and male sexual dysfunction, macroscopic hematuria, UTI's and urinary sepsis, abdominal masses in children.

Content and teaching methods

Based on acquired knowledge during Med 22, the course leader will help the participant to construct a coherent attitude towards a practical situation. Depending upon patient population in the hospital and in the out patient department, there will be many opportunities to review patients histories and physical, and to supervise the urological medico-technical tests such as cystoscopy, echography, protate biopsy and bladder catheterization. Future urologist will be able to attend OR and endoscopy procedures.

Other information (prerequisite, evaluation (assessment methods), course materials recommended readings, ...)

During the last seminar, a final test based on a real life situation will evaluate group and individual ability to cope with a practical daily-life situation.
