Indianapolis, IN US
June 7, 2019 to June 9, 2019

Back by Popular Demand!

New Location for 2019: Indianapolis Marriott Downtown, Indianapolis, IN

The Fundamentals in Urology course is designed to apply basic science knowledge and principles in development of treatment algorithms. The course has been recently redesigned to 3 days to allow for less time out of the office and in a convenient location for travel.  For those who are unable or prefer not to travel, a Webcast-Only option is available so that you can participate at a time and location of your convenience. 

Select our most popular option, the Fundamentals Bundle, for access to the in-person course as well as all online modules and the webcast.

This course will provide attendees with valuable skills in developing a rational methodological approach to application of knowledge which will contribute to positive outcomes for patients. New topics for this year include Complications of Urologic Surgery and Office Evaluation of the Patient Presenting with Incontinence and Surgical Management of Incontinence. Attendees will discover the importance of the study of basic sciences and how it transfers into the lifelong learning process and medical practice. This course is designed to ensure a fundamental knowledge of the "why" behind a broad expanse of general urologic conditions. A thorough knowledge of the basic science behind the treatments will allow for better counseling and education of patients by all clinical urologic practitioners.
