NCS 84th Annual Meeting 2010

The meeting honoree is Dr. Shlomo Raz, a true pioneer in the field of female urology and a mentor who has inspired my career. Other excellent guest speakers, including Drs. Jay Smith, Steve Wilson, Ann Gormley, and Neil Baum, will compliment him, along with many of our own best and brightest members, in a deep and broad-ranging number of panel discussions, podium presentations, symposia, breakouts, and video and poster sessions. This year s AUA Course of Choice, entitled Update on Cancer Related AUA Publications: Preparing for Recertification, will be given by Dr. Sam Chang. Other highlights include live surgical demonstrations offered through Northwestern University, a Health Policy Issues Panel Discussion with Congressman Phil Roe, and a prime-time Young Urologists session concerning what to look for in your next job as a urologist. In my Presidential Address, I will discuss how Intergenerational Urology has played a role in the history of our specialty, and in the lives of so many of our current members, including my own.
