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.

Course applications will be reviewed by the Chair of Education, members of subspecialty societies, and/or committee leaders. You will be notified in September 2024 of your course application status.

Important 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.
