Annual Review Course Self Study On Demand Modules (2020)

For the American Board of Urology (ABU) Qualifying (Part 1) Examination, residents need to possess basic urologic knowledge. To fulfill this need, the American Urological Association (AUA) developed this course to disseminate current urologic knowledge and prepare residents for the ABU examination. This course is also of interest to practicing urologists preparing for the ABU Life Long Learning Knowledge Assessment as well as others, including allied health professionals, looking for a thorough review of basic urologic topics.

Additionally, this course features enhanced programming that allows registrants to access additional online learning resources and modules at their convenience! The Self Study On Demand Modules include webcasts of content that was removed or reduced from the live program.

The Self Study On Demand Modules will include the following content:

  • Anatomy and Physiology
  • Urinary Tract Infection
  • Interstitial Cystitis and Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Target Audience

  • Residents
  • Urologists

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be able to:

  1. Apply basic, generally accepted urological practices for effective, high-quality patient care.
  2. Demonstrate core knowledge of urology necessary for Part I of the American Board of Urology (ABU) qualifying examination and for the ABU Life Long Learning Knowledge Assessment.
  3. Utilize AUA Guidelines for appropriate patient evaluation and management.
