The University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC), a 500-bed complex, consists of the University Hospital, the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center, and The Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems (MIEMSS). The urology service maintains an inpatient service as well as an outpatient service which is seen in the John D. Young Suite. This rotation is the primary rotation and includes extensive training in all areas of urological oncology, laparoscopy, urinary diversion, minimally and maximally invasive urological
There are four cystoscopy rooms and six patient examining rooms in the clinic. The John Young Conference Room is used for urology rounds, conferences and is equipped with computers and a LCD projector. An OEC Diasonics table has overhead fluoroscopy and 60-picture storage capabilities. A Bruel & Kjaer Ultrasound system gives the urologist the capability of performing ultrasonography of the kidneys, bladder, testis, and prostate. New fiberoptic urodynamic system augments the capabilities of the fluoroscopy table.
In 2003 "The OR of the Future" opened at the University of Maryland providing 25 brand new, “state of the art” rooms that can accommodate the newest technology including: Robotics, Telesurgery, Videoscopic Surgery, Cryosurgery, Laser Surgery, as well as other surgical procedures. The area around University Hospital has undergone a rebirth with the opening of the Camden Yards Baseball and the Baltimore Ravens Football Stadiums. In the last 10 years, two additional buildings have been added to the University of Maryland, the Gudelsky and Weinburg Towers, increasing our available beds, adding intensive care and other state of the art monitored care areas. In July of 2005, the Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center opened the Roslyn and Leonard Stoler Pavilion. The 25,000-square-foot Roslyn and Leonard Stoler Pavilion is located just inside the main University of Maryland Medical Center’s lobby. The Roslyn and Leonard Stoler Pavilion consolidate outpatient oncology services in one location, while providing a comfortable, convenient “home” for cancer center patients and their families.
The new Veterans Administration Medical Center at Baltimore (VA) opened in January, 1993. The VA is connected to the University Hospital by an overhead walkway. The VA has two new Endoscopy Suites merging real-time fluoroscopy with digital technology. The VA urology clinic population heavily emphasizes cancer, renal stones, and prostatectomies. Over the last 10 years, we have increased the minimally invasive program at the VA and have increased laparoscopic nephrectomy, prostatectomy, as well as extracorporal shock wave lithotripsy and other state of the art technologies.
Each of the urology residents spends six months doing pediatric urology with at the Johns Hopkins University with Drs. John Gearhart, Rajiv Mathews and Ming-Hsien Wang. Though their primary training is pediatric, the residents also get exposure to the other members of this renowned Urology Department. The experience is very broad and covers virtually all aspects of pediatric urology.
Exposure to the private practice of urology is accomplished by rotating at Baltimore Washington Medical Center located in Anne Arundel County. The Maryland Kidney Stone Center is located in northwest Baltimore and provides ESWL training. The Urology Residency Program is fully accredited by the Residency Review Committee of the ACGME.
