Fundamentals in Urology Live Virtual (2022)
The Fundamentals in Urology course is designed to apply basic science knowledge and principles in development of treatment algorithms. This course has been recently redesigned to meet the needs of the early career urology resident and includes two days of engaging didactic content. This option is ideal for those who are unable or prefer not to travel so that you can either participate at a location of your convenience or from the comfort of your own home.
Designed to be informative and interactive, the program has been designed with the following goals:
- Provide a standardized and foundational course for early career residents to introduce them to urology.
- Provide a course that complements the efforts of individual residency programs.
- Deliver a uniform curriculum to ensure baseline proficiency to improve patient safety.
- Provide an opportunity for early career residents to begin networking with peers.
