Continuing Medical Education
At Urology Grand Rounds, Ohio State faculty, residents, esteemed visiting professors and other medical professionals will present the latest clinical and research findings, highlight innovative procedures and technologies, examine current controversies in treatment, and educate the physicians and medical professionals from throughout Central Ohio on the latest advances in the understanding and treatment of urologic disease. Grand Rounds are offered as part of OSU's Center for Continuing Medical Education.
The Urology Journal Club will tackle these issues on a monthly basis, and be used as an interactive discussion to measure validity of various articles, focus on newly published research and serve as an impetus to begin ground work on new research projects. Every resident will be assigned an article to critique and come prepared to present. After each article is presented, it will be heavily dissected and discussed by all in attendance.

Awards
The Ohio State University Department of Urology has long been home to outstanding faculty and students. In recognition of such exemplary individuals, the following awards are given annually to one faculty member and one medical student respectively.
Jack N. Taylor, MD, received his BA from The Ohio State University in 1940. He received his MD from Harvard in 1943. Dr. Taylor was an assistant professor at Ohio State from 1951 to 1960 and became an associate professor at Ohio State in 1960. He passed away in 1987. When people speak of him, the words “loyalty” and “dedication” are mentioned, but more frequently, his sense of humor and his laugh are fondly remembered. The Jack N. Taylor, MD, Urology Fund was established October 7, 1988, with gifts from his family, friends, colleagues and patients, and it was named the Jack N. Taylor, MD, Award.
In 2010, the department received approval for the creation of a distinguished teaching award. The residents were asked to vote for the faculty member that they felt provided outstanding teaching.
