Purpose and Objectives

Our Advances in Urology course is designed to facilitate comprehensive exposure to recent scientific updates and advances in urology practice and research.

Overview

Specific lecture sessions surrounding the detection and treatment of prostate, bladder, and kidney cancer will update the urologist on the latest technology available to enhance their clinical practice and outcomes. Additionally, updates on reconstructive and pediatric urology, men's health, and stone disease are included.

This course contributes to the American Board of Urology Maintenance of Certification requirements of 90 hours of CME, and is intended for professional urologists, urology residents, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and urology nurses. Participants are encouraged to bring cases for discussion and interaction.

The dates for the next course will be announced upon confirmation.
