Fundamentals in Urology Webcast Only (2020)

Webcast Only

Specifically designed for anyone unable to get away from the office to attend the Live Course, the Webcast option delivers the same great content. Purchase of the Webcast features simultaneous presentation slides and audio recorded from the Live Course and includes access to online course materials.

The Fundamentals in Urology course is designed to apply basic science knowledge and principles in development of treatment algorithms.

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. 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, with incorporation of Guideline principles. A thorough knowledge of the basic science behind the treatments will allow for better counseling and education of patients by all clinical urologic practitioners. New for 2020, a half-day program has been added specifically for Advanced Practice Providers (APP’s) that will cover topics and subject matter seen in their specific clinical practices.

Webcasts will be available to view on Wednesday, June 17, 2020.
