Next Frontiers in Urology: a Biennial AUA/JUA Symposium: Advancements in Urology (2019)
Join the AUA, the JUA and some of today’s global leaders in urologic medicine for an in-depth look at the latest advances in urology!
This biennial symposium gathers esteemed faculty and leadership from both the American Urological Association (AUA) and the Japanese Urological Association (JUA). Join us to network with your colleagues and get the latest updates in clinical guidelines and new and emerging treatment options in urologic medicine.
Urologists and those practicing urology need a thorough knowledge of the most recent developments and techniques in urology to ensure the highest standards of patient care and safety. This course is designed to inform on the latest in medical and surgical management of the areas deemed most essential to urologists, including urologic oncology (prostate, bladder and kidney), urolithiasis, BPH & LUTS, voiding dysfunction and pediatrics.
