Southeastern Section of the American Urological Association (SESAUA) Virtual 85th Annual Meeting

Southeastern Section of the American Urological Association (SESAUA) Virtual 85th Annual Meeting is organized by Southeastern Section of the American Urological Association (SESAUA), Inc. and will be held from Apr 23 - 24, 2021.

Educational Needs:
Practicing urologists, as well as those in training, are confronted with learning extensive amounts of knowledge. The broad scope of information, including basic and translational science, clinical practice, and socioeconomic challenges, makes it difficult for urologists to current with latest developments, thereby leading to professional practice gaps. The sessions at this meeting will provide participants with current knowledge to bridge these gaps and facilitate the delivery of optimal patient care, along with discussion of many of the issues facing urology in practice and challenges to the delivery of optimal patient care including issues of diversity, social justice, urology practitioner shortage, etc.

Urologic abnormalities can present with a myriad of clinical symptoms and signs. Accurate differential diagnosis and clinical management, which meets current standards of care, require ongoing review of the disease presentations as well as the appropriate use of safe and cost-effective diagnostic modalities and various pharmacologic, minimally invasive, and operative management options. In addition, advancements in medical science and progress in disease management require basic and clinical research. Presentation and discussion of peer-reviewed results of investigations and summaries provide “cutting edge” updates for practicing clinicians and essential feedback to researchers on the practical applications and translation of their investigations to clinical practice.

Educational Objectives:
At the conclusion of the 85th Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Section of the AUA, attendees will be able to:
• Apply genetics, testing, biopsy, and management strategies for evaluation and management of urologic oncology patients, including those with prostate and bladder malignancy.
• Discuss medical and surgical management for nephrolithiasis patients around opioids
• Identify strategies to employ in pediatric urologic patients presenting with kidney obstruction
• Describe recent changes in health policy impacting urologic care
