Fundamentals in Urology Live Course Only (2019)

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

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. 

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.

The live course only option includes access to the 3 day course and the online modules.


NEW THIS YEAR: ONLINE MODULES INCLUDED IN ALL PURCHASE OPTIONS!

This year's course features enhanced programming that allows registrants to access additional online learning resources and modules at the convenience of their home for less time away from the office! The online modules include webcasts of content that was removed or reduced from the live program. The online educational modules for 2019 will include the following content:

  • Uro-Ethics
  • Obstructive Uropathy
  • Applications Outcome
  • Renal Physiology
  • Urodynamics
  • Pathology

Target Audience
