Designed to foster a spirit of competition and Section pride, the AUA Residents Bowl is the not-to-be-missed event of AUA2023. Each of the eight AUA Sections will field a team of residents that includes one international trainee and go head-to-head in an ultimate battle of the brains. Now in its tenth year, the AUA Residents Bowl will test residents' knowledge in different urological subspecialties, the history of urology and important new research findings.
The Residents Bowl will be held in the Residents Pavilion (Booth #3203) in the Science & Technology Hall.
