Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) Live Forum for Urology Residents & Fellows (2017): CPS Protocol

The AUA recently released a report on the educational needs of urologists in the area of CRPC. These findings show strong support for the AUA to influence key stakeholders in urology residency programs in order to increase the amount of exposure residents receive in the area of CRPC. Additionally, the findings indicate that the AUA should look into the feasibility of developing stand-alone courses and educational materials specifically targeted to residents that covers the medical management of advanced prostate cancer.

Based on this educational need, AUA is launching a new educational initiative to focus on CRPC Resident & Fellow Training. Based on the documented need for additional education in this area, the AUA has developed multiple educational interventions to improve the urology resident and fellow's ability to care for patients with CRPC. The CRPC Resident & Fellow Training initiative is comprised of a variety of unique activities, including a self-assessment, pre-requisite work, a live forum and an online case-study activity. This activity will also provide each participant will access to patient education resources The initiative will offer the live one-day forum five times to reach residents and fellows across the country.

This initiative will provide a foundation of knowledge on CRPC and the ability to apply this knowledge into practice to improve the outcomes of their patients. As residency programs differ in what is offered, we recommend that each participant in this initiative successfully complete all of the activities. If a resident successfully completes all activities, they will receive a Certificate of Participation which they may share with their Residency Program Director.

All activities are free to urology residents and fellows.

Activity 4 – AUA Clinical Problem Solving (CPS) Protocol Online Activity
