UCLA Urology Book Club
To create a culture of inclusion and incorporate diverse views and experiences amongst the department’s members, UCLA Urology is distributing two books each academic year in order to implement consistent, ongoing learning and encourage dialogue all year long. The first book being distributed is Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America by Ibram X. Kendi. The book chronicles how racist ideas were created, spread, and deeply rooted in American society.

The workshop provided an opportunity for the medical students to practice suturing and laparoscopic surgery techniques.
