Sub-Internships for Fourth-Year
Medical Students
The Division of Urology welcomes students from other institutions to rotate
on our service. Both sub-internships and research electives are available.
Sub-internships last for one month. The clinical experience is principally
at Barnes-Jewish Hospital. There is exposure to ALL major disciplines in urology
(open and minimally invasive oncology, trauma/reconstructive procedures, robotic
and minimally invasive procedures, stones and endourology). Opportunities
are available to rotate at St. Louis Children's Hospital (pediatrics) or Barnes-Jewish
West County Hospital (female and neurourology, including outpatient clinic
and urodynamics), depending on the interests of the applicant.
Sub-interns are integrated into the housestaff team. Daily duties include
rounding with the housestaff, participation in the operative schedule and
spending time in the outpatient clinic setting. Sub-interns will have the
opportunity to engage with ALL faculty during their rotation. There is no
overnight call. Sub-interns will have an opportunity to present a Grand Rounds
lecture on a topic of their choice.
According to Washington University School of Medicine policy, the student
must receive academic credit for his/her participation in this elective. A
written evaluation of the student’s performance will be required upon
completion of the elective. To complete an application, go to the Association
of American Medical Colleges Visiting Student Application Service.
Interested students can also set up research electives. Students should contact
Dr. Steven Brandes at brandess@wudosis.wustl.edu
to set up an interview to determine their research interest so that they can
be paired with a suitable faculty mentor. The faculty mentor and student will
then develop a research project and agenda for a research elective in accordance
with WUSM policy.
Housing options are available upon acceptance and are coordinated through
the Curriculum Office.
