LIVE IN-PERSON: The Art and Application of Urodynamics for Pediatric Urologic Conditions (11/7-8/2025)
This course is designed to help perform these investigations correctly by developing a fundamental understanding of lower urinary tract anatomy and function. It aims to teach the best methods for investigating abnormal conditions, ensuring accurate interpretation of findings, and increasing awareness of potential therapeutic options.
Description
Urodynamics (UDS) is a vital tool for understanding lower urinary tract disorders that affect continence and can lead to urinary tract infections. It is the gold standard for assessing bladder and sphincter function in adults and children, offering insights into the causes of urinary tract issues and guiding management strategies.
This course is designed to help perform these investigations correctly by developing a fundamental understanding of lower urinary tract anatomy and function. It aims to teach the best methods for investigating abnormal conditions, ensuring accurate interpretation of findings, and increasing awareness of potential therapeutic options.
Course Format
In-person attendees will have the exclusive opportunity to engage in hands-on, interactive learning experiences, including live demonstrations and simulations. Join us for a networking dinner on the first night, along with other opportunities to connect and collaborate.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this educational program, learners will be able to:
- Understand the various urodynamic studies and what clinical information they provide, so as to facilitate ordering the appropriate
- Understand how to perform the each urodynamic study, including identification of artifact and performing a complete study
- Understand how to appropriately interpret the findings from the particular study(ies) performed
- Understand how urodynamic study results can guide appropriate treatment
