Goals and Objectives
Long-Term Goals:
- To provide state-of-the-art training to all our residents in the art and science of urology. Our foremost intention is to recruit intelligent, qualified individuals and to train them into excellent urologic surgeons (open surgical and endoscopic).
- To provide an environment that is stimulating to academic achievements. Our goal is to stimulate at least 10-15% of our resident pool to pursue a career in academia, and pursue further fellowship training.
- Provide a milieu that encourages both basic and clinical research. This enhances the academic process and productivity of the faculty and residents.
- To provide adequate supervision of the residents during their entire training process. With the rapid proliferation of technological innovations within urology, such supervision is critical to the growth of the residents.
- To have top-notch faculty who are sub-specialized in each urologic sub-specialty. With technological innovations and procedures rapidly dominating the urology landscape, it is important that specialized faculty be available for teaching, research, and academic achievement.
- To provide state-of-the-art technology for patient management. This directly results in increased patient referrals, which directly benefits our teaching and clinical research programs.
- To work in unison with community urologists in the two-state area of Louisiana and Mississippi to further enhance our department as a Center of Excellence for urological referrals. This, once again, brings in difficult cases for management, further enhancing our status and resident experience.
- To stay current with the changing healthcare environment so as to be proactive in patient management, outcome analyses, and thus be ready to deal directly with managed care products.
