The Business of Urology is an example of a new effort that we’ve undertaken during particularly tough years,” he said. In terms of education, Swanson said the AUA has continued to work tirelessly, as exemplified by the following: • 72,000+ hours of CME claimed through AUAUniversity • 186+ domestic educational activities offered • 40+ international activities offered • 30,000+ views of surgical videos offered across AUAUniversity and YouTube “The AUA’s educational arm has been very active, even during this time of challenge,” he said. Swanson also highlighted the AUA Leadership Program, which has already identified its next class. “The Leadership Program is a terrific opportunity,” he said.
