Medical Students

Welcome!

We are excited that you have chosen to join us on the Urology service during your required Phase 2 Surgical and Procedural Care rotation or during your Phase 3 elective time.

Most of the students who take this subspecialty course enjoy themselves and learn more than they thought they would when they signed up for it.

Urology at UW

• Patients with kidney problems like kidney cancer and kidney stones
• Patients with bladder problems such as bladder cancer and urinary incontinence
• Men with prostate cancer
• Men with benign prostatic enlargement and its subsequent symptom of difficult urination (these patients are often cared for by urologists as well as their primary care physicians)
• Men with erectile dysfunction and male-factor infertility
• Pediatric Urology patients with an array of congenital problems with the kidneys, bladder, penis and testicles
