Practical Implementation of Third-Line Therapies for Refractory Overactive Bladder (OAB) Webcast (2024)
Learners will be presented with case-based and guidelines-based information regarding when to introduce third-line therapies to patients for potentially refractory overactive bladder (OAB), presentation (scripting) techniques to impart important information to patients with user-friendly comprehensible language and analogies to help the patients receive the counseling, pros and cons of each of the third-line therapies, technical tips on optimal delivery of the three third-line therapies and how to select which therapies are the best fit for a given patient. The format, again, will be case based, but also conversational and interactive, with the use of the audience response system and encouragement for live real-time audience discussion.
