Be part of the AUA2024 program! The AUA is currently accepting course applications for AUA2024, to be held May 3 – 6, 2024, in the dynamic city of San Antonio, TX. We encourage applications for both renewal courses and new courses and are requesting innovative ideas designed to offer education in new, engaging formats in the following three categories:
1. Instructional Courses — Explore Instructional Courses from AUA2023

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion
The AUA looks to increase representation in course faculty, which begins with the course application process. We urge course applicants of diverse backgrounds to submit applications and ask that repeat Course Directors apply for renewal with new faculty that reflects the diverse make-up of the urology profession.
Review Process
The deadline to submit course applications is June 9, 2023. Course applications will be reviewed by the Chair of Education, members of subspecialty societies, and/or committee leaders. You will be notified in September 2023 of your course application status.
Note: To provide greater educational opportunities and diversity for our learners, please limit faculty participation in Instructional Courses and the ILB Track to a combined maximum of 2 courses, one of which can be as a Course Director.
