Urological Association of Physician Assistants 7th Annual Meeting
OVERVIEW
Urological Association of Physician Assistants (UAPA) 7th Annual Meeting is organized by Urological Association of Physician Assistants (UAPA) and will be held during Apr 06 - 08, 2018 at Embassy Suites by Hilton Scottsdale Resort, Scottsdale, Arizona, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is Urologists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 18.00 AAPA Category 1 CME Credit.
Educational Needs :
This Conference focuses several talks on urologic malignancies. Management of urologic malignancies includes multiple modalities that require that physician assistants understand current issues regarding diagnosis, treatment choices, and management once treatment has been completed. Because physician assistants are often the source of patient education regarding management of the long-term complications of cancer treatment, it is also necessary to provide them with clinically relevant information regarding patient survivorship.
This Conference will also focus several talks on urologic conditions that, while not malignant, dramatically impact a patient’s quality of life. Because physician assistants are able to evaluate, order appropriate diagnostic testing, diagnose, and medically treat many of these conditions with autonomy, it is important to provide the necessary background and keep providers up to date with treatment options for conditions such as incontinence, kidney stone management, and transgender urology.
With the rapid growth of integrating physician assistants into urology practices comes the need to provide training in urologic procedures including female and male sexual dysfunction, cystoscopy, urodynamic testing, pessary fitting, and neuromodulation. It is also imperative for professional development to include topics on medical malpractice.
Educational Objectives :
At the conclusion of the UAPA 7th Annual Meeting, participants will be able to:
• Describe tests used to evaluate patients with SUI and discuss the treatments.
