At Urology Grand Rounds, Ohio State faculty, residents, esteemed visiting professors and other medical professionals will present the latest clinical and research findings, highlight innovative procedures and technologies, examine current controversies in treatment, and educate the physicians and medical professionals from throughout Central Ohio on the latest advances in the understanding and treatment of urologic disease. Grand Rounds are offered as part of OSU's Center for Continuing Medical Education.

The Urology Journal Club will tackle these issues on a monthly basis, and be used as an interactive discussion to measure validity of various articles, focus on newly published research and serve as an impetus to begin ground work on new research projects. Every resident will be assigned an article to critique and come prepared to present. After each article is presented, it will be heavily dissected and discussed by all in attendance.

For more information, please visit OSU's Center for Continuing Medical Education.
