| Wednesday Mornings: Campbell’s Club: Residents rotate presenting 1-2 chapters per week from the Campbell-Walsh Urology textbook. All residents are expected to have read the chapter and have completed the questions submitted by the presenter the week prior. An outline of the chapters prepared by the presenter will be supplied to accompany the readings. |
| Throughout the year, residents of all levels will have the opportunity to hone their skills in the animal lab. Routinely, residents gain experience doing both laparoscopic and open nephrectomies, cystectomies, ileal conduits, and closure techniques. Residents will participate in the animal lab monthly during their general surgery years, as well. |
