The Asian School of Urology (ASU), Urological Association of Asia (UAA) are collaborating with American Urological Association (AUA) to organize Asian Urology Resident’s Course in conjunction with the UAA Congress. UAA central secretariat will send out Request for Nomination Letter to member associations to be considered.
The ASU is pleased to sponsor THREE Senior Urological Trainees from each Association Member of UAA to attend the above course with the following sponsorship.
A discounted registration fee of USD200 will be applicable to Residents from this course who wishes to attend the Main Congress from 5th September 2024 (Opening Ceremony) to 5th September 2024
for Nominated AURC Delegates.
Please note that the selected trainees MUST BE ENDORSED by the President or Secretary General of the Member Association, otherwise the application will be considered null and void. UAA does not accept direct applications. UAA reserves the right to reject the nominee if he/she does not meet the above criteria.
Should the nominees fail to turn up for any sessions without a valid reason or reason deem not acceptable by UAA, UAA reserves the rights to ask the Member Association to pay the registration fees (USD500) of the course for the nominees.
UAA also welcome trainees who are keen to attend the AURC 2024 but not nominated by the Member Associations. I am pleased to inform that they are entitled to sit for the AUA Examination but will not be entitled for the complimentary one-year AUA Membership.
However, they would have to find their own funding for registration fees and hotel stay.
" AURC has become a thread that connects the pearls of budding urologists across Asia. It created a long-lasting brotherhood in just a few days. As a resident, that knowledge helped me get through my exit exam and FRCS exam smoothly. May this great opportunity benefit the next batch of residents as well. "
" AURC was truly an unforgettable experience - beyond the thrill of being in a foreign country and a well-organised programme with comprehensive lectures from prominent faculty, seeing how practices differ from one country to another really deepened my understanding on the practice of urology. But above all, the most important aspect of the course was the invaluable friendships built with many other urology trainees all over the region. Definitely recommended for all urology trainees! "
" AURC is a rare opportunity not to be missed by any resident. I am grateful to Dr. Yrastorza for being one of the delegates of our society. The program is well-designed, as it showcases our knowledge, skills, and teamwork and also allows us to build friendships across the globe. "
" AURC is a well-structured program that is not only deepening our knowledge as urology residents but also giving us the opportunity to broaden our networking with colleagues from all over Asia. We could share our practice and tips and tricks through discussion, as well as see other perspectives on handling daily urological problems during the debate session. It is literally a very recommended program for urology residents, period. "
" I participated in the AURC in 2022, and it was a truly remarkable three-day course. The lectures delivered by renowned international experts were invaluable, as they generously shared their own experiences. What set this course apart was its focus on not only exam preparation but also captivating discussions on lesser-known yet significant topics such as penile prosthesis, pelvic organ prolapse, and pediatric urology. The course provided a delightful learning experience and facilitated the formation of meaningful friendships with fellow attendees. "
" I had the opportunity to participate in AURC 2022 in Sydney, and it was an incredibly amazing experience. The three-day course covered topics ranging from common practices to rarely encountered ones, allowing me to compare management differences and technologies from various countries. In this course, topics were not only presented in expert lecture format but also accompanied by discussions, with each participant bringing forth specific topics. In addition to knowledge, cross-country connections also proved to be a valuable advantage gained from this course. "
