2026 Science & Quality (S&Q) Summit

This conference, hosted by the American Urological Association (AUA), serves as a platform for the presentation of innovative ideas that aim to address priority quality challenges within the field of urology. This inaugural event will showcase submissions from AUA members, including residents, fellows, and early-career urologists. Attendees who are selected will pitch their proposals, Shark Tank-style, at the summit, which will take place at AUA Headquarters on November 13-14, 2026. The competition encourages participants to reflect the National Urology Quality Agenda's (NUQA) priorities and emphasizes practical strategies aimed at enhancing patient outcomes through improved diagnoses and care practices. The winner will receive a grant for implementation and mentorship from experienced AUA staff and committee members. Join us to explore new avenues for advancing the quality of urologic care. Educational Objectives: - To engage participants in innovative strategies for quality improvement in urology. - To foster collaboration among urology professionals and researchers focusing on practical care enhancements. - To encourage the development of measurable outcomes and implementation strategies aligned with the NUQA.
