Since my goal is to become a Urologist I wanted to give everyione some insight on what Urology is exactly. I am sure most of you already know what it is but for those who do not, this might give you a general idea:
From Wikipedia
"Urology is the surgical specialty that focuses on the urinary tracts of males and females, and on the reproductive system of males. Medical professionals specializing in the field of urology are called urologists and are trained to diagnose, treat, and manage patients with urological disorders. The organs covered by urology include the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, and the male reproductive organs (testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate and penis). Both Urologists and General Surgeons operate on the adrenal glands."
What is a Urologist? Urology Channel
A urologist is a physician who has specialized knowledge and skill regarding problems of the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive organs. Because of the variety of clinical problems encountered, knowledge of internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, and other specialties is required of the urologist. Urology is classified as a surgical subspecialty. A urologist with advanced qualifications in surgery may be a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).
There are many more sites that offer great information on Urology. If there are any other students or even Urologist in this community please send me a message, I would love to connect and talk with you. Another great site I wanted to mention was **** this website has great infromation and resources about urology and has been online since 1995 Jurology has tons of news and infromation as well. I spend at least 1 hour a day on it.
