Understanding the epidemiology of fertility treatments.
The science of statistics forms the basis of much of what urologists do and why. Understanding basic statistics is crucial to the appropriate interpretation of urologic studies. As valid as they are, the statistics taught in medical school represent only a small part of what computation can do for the urologist. Contemporary tools such as neural computation coupled with electronic technology that provides increasingly greater computational power in smaller space hold promise to integrate into the field of clinical urology as seamlessly as a ballpoint pen or cystoscope.
