programs or developing successful careers in
urologic surgery.
Residents receive funding to attend the
week-long national meeting of the American
Urologic Association in their third year.
Residents whose submitted papers are accepted
for presentation at a national or sectional
meeting are given funding to attend the
meeting. Annually, at the state level, all
residents in the program are encouraged to
attend the Ohio Urological Society meeting.
There they are exposed to the expertise of
nationally known urologists and issues of
managed care and reimbursement.
Conferences
The Pathology Conference at Veterans Affairs
Medical Center complements a vigorous
amount of time spent in courses devoted to
pathology at the University. The CUP
(Cincinnati UroPathology) Lecture Series adds
vibrancy to the pathology arena with visiting
lecturers and hosts. Other regularly held
conferences include Morbidity and Mortality,
adult and pediatric radiology, didactic lectures,
oral examinations of medical knowledge, adult
and pediatric journal clubs, and a pediatric
lecture series. In conjunction with
Interventional Radiology, Urology has a
monthly tumor board meeting. Indications
conference has been added to the weekly
conference schedule under a new format.
Urology Visiting Professors
Three times each year Visiting Professors meet
with faculty and residents (normally twice a
year the adult urology interests are addressed
and once per year the pediatric area). The
speaker culminates a busy day by giving a
major address to The Cincinnati Urological
Society. Residents, full time and volunteer
faculty, as well as private non-faculty urologists
in the surrounding communities attend this
meeting. We also host numerous visiting
professors who spend a single evening with
the residents and give a lecture followed by a
question and answer period and social hour.
