AUA Annual Meeting
May 17-22, 2008
Orlando, Florida, USA |
Structure: During the second year of urologic training, residents perform dedicated basic science research for a 6-month period.
Near the conclusion of the first year of training a project is identified and residents at this level are assigned to a research mentor, Dr. Ratz, specializing in detrusor smooth muscle physiology, Dr. Bowlin, specializing in urologic tissue engineering, or Dr. Klausner specializing in neuro-urology.
 For residents with unique research interests or experience, arrangements can be made to conduct research in an alternate laboratory.
Requirements: Residents are required to submit two abstracts per year and to complete one or more manuscripts for publication during residency training.
Funding is provided to support presentation of resident-authored works and submission to the following meetings is encouraged:
