Introduction
Cytology is integral in the assessment of urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC). However, upper urinary tract (UUT) specimens are cytologically challenging due to limited tissue and reactive atypia. At our institution UUT biopsies are processed as cell blocks (CB). We compared our institution’s reporting system (IRS) with the recently proposed Paris System for Reporting Urine Cytology (PRS) (Table 1) in UUT specimens and correlated the findings with CB and follow-up resections.

Introduction and Objectives
- In 2002, ACGME identified six ACGME Core Competencies: patient care; medical knowledge; practice-based learning and improvement; interpersonal and communication skills; professionalism; and systems-based practice.
- AAMC recommended lists of similar competencies for the curricula of medical schools. Competency based curricula have been widely implemented in medical schools.
- Effective shifting in the graduate medical educational programs has been reported in various clinical specialties.
- There is a lack of reported efforts and development on competency training in early preclinical years of medical education.
Objectives:
- To explore methods for strengthening medical students’ competency training during preclinical undergraduate medical education.
- To measure …
