genitourinary curriculum

The urogenital curriculum is one of our curriculum articles and aims to be a collection of articles that represent the core genitourinary knowledge.

Definition 

Topics pertaining to the urinary tract (kidneys, ureter, bladder, urethra), adrenal glands, prostate penis, scrotal content (testes, epididymis and associated structures), but excluding those specific to obstetric curriculum and gynecology curriculum.
