Corewell Health is the new name for Beaumont.

The Department of Urology has four teaching services

  • adult service A
  • adult service B
  • pediatric urology service

The first postgraduate year in surgery is structured to give residents experience in general surgery with special emphasis on diagnosis, and pre- and post-operative care of the surgical patient.

During urology rotations call is taken from home.

International opportunities

International urology rotations enable resident physicians to become immersed not only in in the culture and traditions of each respective country as well. Due to the prevalence of some illnesses in only certain regions of the world, international electives can expose residents to a greater variety of pathology and disease.
