Open Call for Abstract Reviewers

AUA2027 – Abstract Reviewers

The AUA is launching an open call for abstract reviewers within the urologic community.

Reviewers play a vital role in ensuring abstract selections for the AUA Annual Meeting are fair and equitable. The scores and feedback provided by abstract reviewers aid the review team leaders, and the Scientific Program Chair (the AUA Secretary) in selecting valid, high-quality research for presentation at AUA2027.

If you served as a reviewer for AUA2026, you do not need to reapply, but you must have an active AUA membership and a current disclosure record (confirmed as of January 2026).
