ForwardPatient Safety Course (2024)
The Patient Safety Course is designed to provide urologists and the urology care team with the knowledge required to apply appropriate patient safety procedures in a urologic practice. Urology specific examples will help learners understand patient safety concepts, how safety issues arise, and how they can be mitigated.
