Fundamentals in Urology Webcast (2016)

The Fundamentals in Urology course is designed to apply basic science knowledge and principles in development of treatment algorithms. This 4-day 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. A thorough knowledge of the basic science behind the treatments will allow for better counseling and education of patients by all clinical urologic practitioners.

Target Audience

This course is designed for:

  • Urology Residents
  • Allied Health Professionals
