This is our third annual winter meeting, and we anticipate another strong and dynamic conference! Each year we hold this meeting to address issues in residency training and propose solutions so that future generations of urologists receive the training they need and deliver our patients continually better care. This year, the meeting has been reduced from three days to two in order to minimize time spent out of the office, and maximize the educational value of the program. Houston, Texas is also a great, central location that is easy to travel to from all over the country. I also welcome the opportunity for some warmer weather in February. I want to first thank Drs. Kirsten Greene and Moben Mirza for volunteering to be the co-chairs for the 2019 meeting. They have developed a tremendous curriculum that will bring value to all of us who practice in academic urology. Notable sessions include: • How to Comply with Section VI of the Common Program Requirements • Review of the PGY-1 Year Curriculum • Self-Study Site Visits • Resident Debates on Well-being, Burnout and Morale Building • Career Development and Success We’re also thrilled to have Dr.

  • HEMATOLOGY-ONCOLOGY Overview
    HEMATOLOGY- ONCOLOGY HEMATOLOGY-ONCOLOGY Overview The Brown University/Lifespan Hematology/ Oncology group was formed when The Miriam Hospital Hematology/Oncology Division, the Rhode Island Hospital Division of Hematology and the Rhode Island Hospital Department of Medical Oncology merged in 1999. Our mission is to achieve academic excellence in basic research, clinical research and education, and to provide the highest quality of care to our patients. The creation of a Comprehensive Cancer Center, which is a collaborative effort to provide coordi- nated and comprehensive care for cancer patients at three Lifespan hospitals (The Miriam Hospital, Rhode Island Hospital and Newport Hospital), has now become a reality. Both the patients and the staff appreciate the many benefits afforded by the new Comprehensive Cancer Center at The Miriam Hospital which opened in May 2002. Extensive renovations to the George Clinic at Rhode Island Hospital were completed as a temporary measure. The groundbreaking ceremony for the Comprehen- sive Cancer Center at Rhode Island Hospital was held on April 28, 2003 with an anticipated opening in February 2004. A recent goal has been the establishment of multi- disciplinary clinics for all the major malignancies. This conveniently allows the patient to receive the Edward Wittels, M.D., Associate Professor of expertise of the surgeon, radiation oncologist and Medicine; Interim Director of Hematology- medical oncologist at the time of their first visit.
