SUGGESTED READINGS

from SMITH AND TANAGHO’S GENERAL UROLOGY TEXTBOOK (18TH ED.)

 I suggest you skim Chapter 1, “Anatomy of the Genitourinary Tract”, to

refresh your memory on urologic anatomy. Also skim through Chapter
3, “Symptoms of Disorders of the Genitourinary Tract”, to learn why
urologic problems cause the symptoms they cause.
 You will do a Urinalysis teaching session on the second Monday of your
rotation. You will learn much more from that if you review pages 48–56 of
Chapter 5, “Urologic Laboratory Examination”, beforehand.
