The Department of Urology offers instruction in all of these areas at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and provides continuing education for the delivery of urologic care. Medical Student TrainingThe department cooperates with several University of Iowa basic science departments to educate first-year M.D. students in the relationship between urology and the basic sciences. It collaborates with the Department of Microbiology in teaching and research concerning immunology of genitourinary cancers and renal transplantation.In the second-year M.D. course, 050:165 Foundations of Clinical Practice IV ICD, the department presents illustrative lectures and demonstrations related to diagnosis and treatment of genitourinary tract diseases.
