PowerPoint
Presentations
All paper presentations will be given digitally by
Microsoft PowerPoint via Laptop computer. It will
be required that all presenters submit their PowerPoint
presentation prior to the Annual Meeting. This is
necessary so that all presentations are assembled
in order and tested to output properly to avoid technical
glitches at the time of presentation. Presenters will
be able to make minor adjustments up to 24 hours in
advance of their presentation time.
Urology
Review Courses
Another highlight of the meeting, will include Postgraduate
Review and Examination Preparation Courses (PREP-C).
These comprehensive urology review courses will include
general exam topics with 13 hours of review. The courses
are geared to those physicians planning to take the
In-Service Exam for re-certification, Residents preparing
for the Board Review Exam, and physicians wanting
an overall urology didactical review and refresher.
Please take full advantage of this unique opportunity.
