Fundamentals in Urology (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
- Urology residents
- Allied Health Professionals
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Identify specific applications of basic science knowledge and principles in development of treatment methods
- Develop a scientific and methodological approach to the application of knowledge gained at the conference that is consistent with AUA guidelines and best practices
- Compare newly published findings and their impact on medical practice and patient care
- Transfer continuing study of basic sciences into lifelong learning process and medical practice
- Articulate the rationale for their treatment approach concisely to the patient and modify the treatment plan as circumstances change
