The AMERICAN UROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION consists of two Maryland corporations, namely the American Urological Association, Inc., a professional association representing its members in health policy and related matters, and the American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc., a separate charitable and educational organization enjoying tax-exempt status. The latter corporation publishes the Journal of Urology, sponsors the Office of Education and the new Office of Research, and is responsible also for the educational component of the AUA Annual Meeting. AUA members enjoy dual membership in both organizations. Affiliated with both AUA corporations are its eight regional Sections, and also the American Foundation for Urological Disease, a tax-exempt foundation emphasizing patient education and co-sponsoring the Scholars program with AUA Education and Research, Inc.
