Texas Urological Society (TUS)

(Compiled from information provided by Harry Spence, MD, in April, 1988. Dr. Spence was a founding member of the society who was a professor of urology at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas until his death in 1994. The Harry Spence Essay Contest for residents was named in his honor. Printed in Summer 1996 issue of The Texas Urologist.)

Shortly after the end of World War II, the time was ripe for the formation of a society of those physicians in Texas devoting themselves to the practice of urology. Indeed the specialty itself had really become of age just a bit before the beginning of the conflict, when transurethral prostatic resection, intravenous pyelography, and the first effective antimicrobials (sulfonamides) had come into general usage.

Our Mission :
To ethically promote the practice of urology in the best interest of the public and the medical profession, to continually improve the professional standards of urology, to further the continued education of its members, to study and evaluate all economic aspects of this specialty, to promote cooperation between all disciplines interested in urology, and to advise all other professional groups concerning urology.
