    THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Department of Urologic Sciences Faculty of Medicine Gordon & Leslie Diamond Health Care Centre Level 6, 2775 Laurel Street Vancouver, BC, Canada V5Z 1M9 Tel: (604) 875-4301 Fax: (604) 875-4637 Fraser Valley Rotation (FVR) (Burnaby General Hospital, Surrey Memorial Hospital, Royal Columbian Hospital, Eagle Ridge Hospital) Rotation Goals & Objectives Preamble: General Objectives The elective at FVR provides training in both pediatric and adult general and specialty urology. There is a particular emphasis on laparoscopic, genitourinary reconstructive surgery for renal and pelvic disorders. There is also training in broad-based, general urologic practice including uro- oncology, reconstructive surgery for male/female incontinence, benign prostatic diseases, congenital reconstruction, and men’s health. The resident will be evaluated according to the goals and objectives appropriate for his/her level. The “elective” at FVR is better described as a longitudinal experience. A resident will typically spend one or more elective blocks in a senior role. An ITER will be issued at the end of each block and the resident will utilize these rotations in order to amass ongoing competencies required for progressive achievement in the Program. It should be recognized that much of the teaching during this elective will occur during, or a result of, direct patient care. The resident will recognize that their own education is intricately linked to delivery of patient care and that, through service, their education will be optimized. SPH/MSJ Goals and Objectives This document refers to the RCPSC Objectives of Training in Urology (2009) Locations Burnaby General Hospital is located in Burnaby, British Columbia and is a large 314 bed community hospital affiliated with UBC.
