CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT/PEDAGOGICAL INNOVATION
2007
2006-2011
“Transplant Nephrology” elective for Urology Residents
Through the assistance of the head of the Transplant Nephrology program and the Vascular Surgeon who does all the elective renal transplantations, an elective, specific for Urology residents was designed. The elective, which is unique in that it is a fusion of both a medical and a surgical service, allows urology residents to learn the medical aspects of transplant nephrology, while at the same time participating in the intra and peri-operative care of renal transplant and kidney donor surgical patients, helping them to meet the
Urology Objectives of Training
Development and implementation of Urology Resident assessment tools
To improve resident feedback in the RCPSC CanMeds Competencies, the following Resident Evaluations were developed: Nurse Evaluation
(Communicator), Case Presentations Evaluation (Medical Expert), Journal
Club Evaluation (Scholar), Resident Research Day Evaluation (Scholar),
Resident Seminar Presentation Evaluation (Scholar). Some of these were developed de novo, and others were modified from other programs.

Development of Quarterly Exam for Urology residents (QUOWE)
Four times a year, all urology residents sit an examination that includes an oral exam question, X-ray station, and short answer questions (SAQs) on the topics covered in the last 3 months of Academic Half Day (AHD). I designed and initiated this examination format. I facilitate the entire process by assigning different faculty members to give the oral exam and set up the
X-ray station, and get AHD faculty tutors and presenters to provide SAQs. I provide SAQs on urodynamics, pathology and the remaining AHD topics and then proctor this 1/2 day exam.
Implementation of T-Res
A national web-based program is available to track resident exposure to clinical activities, particularly OR experiences, through self entry of data.
While available to Urology Residents, it was not embraced by all residents, and was not being used as an assessment tool for the Program Director until
I incorporated it into routine resident assessment.
Pediatric Outpatient Surgical Subspecialties Selective
This is a Surgical Selective that I designed and implemented for Med IV students. It involves students rotating through a number of pediatric surgical sub-specialty clinics, based on their particular interests. I currently manage this selective by organizing the clinic schedule and filling in the final student evaluations.
Revision of U of M Urology Residency Goals & Objectives
The G&O of the all the Urology rotations, including the Core years, were revised to ensure accuracy and attainability under the format of the RCPSC
CanMeds Competencies. These continue to be reviewed and updated annually
U of M Urology Resident's Manual
A new, user friendly, Urology resident manual was designed and produced as a reference for residents and teaching faculty. An updated version is distributed to the residents annually.
INTERESTS AND EXPERTISE
2002-Present SPECIAL INTEREST: MINIMIZING UNNECESSARY MEDICAL ENCOUNTERS
AND INTERVENTION
The majority of the research topics that I have published journal articles and patient management guidelines on have been in the area of minimizing unnecessary medical encounters and interventions. The goals have been to avoid unnecessary cost to the health care system, unnecessary travel for patients and to prevent unnecessary anxiety to patients and their families.
Examples include: 1. Children with "Solitary Kidneys" should not be unnecessarily restricted from participating in sporting activities 2. Children born with "Multicystic Dysplastic Kidneys" are not at a high risk of malignancy, and thus do not need to go through surgery or long-term assessments by urologists 3. Children who have a surgical "Pyeloplasty" do not need to be watched for recurrence beyond two years 4. My work on the
"Microscopic Hematuria" guidelines focused on limiting unnecessary
