1) Assess patients in Cystoscopy clinics and to perform endoscopic-based procedures and prostate-based procedures.
2) Assess patients in outpatient urology clinics.
3) Perform voiding trials for patients in the outpatient urology clinic.
4) Assess patients in an Erectile Dysfunction clinic and perform procedures including non-invasive therapies and intracavernosal injection therapy.
5) To provide surgical assistance in the main operating room when there is no post-graduate trainee available to provide surgical assistance.
