The 2015 Mayo Clinic Updates in Urology is designed to provide practicing urologists in the region with up to date, evidence-based information and resources on the treatment of urologic conditions.  The course is specifically geared toward practicing urologists, as well as nurse practitioners and physician assistants specializing in urologic conditions.  Sessions will focus on contemporary urologic practice, including guideline-based, best practices, clinical care pathways, diagnostic and treatment algorithms, and common clinical dilemmas.  Lectures will be structured in an interactive format with cases presented to maximize the yield for general and subspecializing urologists on each topic.  CME will also be provided as a relatively low cost alternative to other national and international urologic venues.
