For WSAUA Residents: Become a part of one of urology’s greatest traditions! We offer free (or discounted) meeting registration including social events, a $1700 value. Plus discounted registration for your spouse/guest. In addition, scholarship awards are given to defer travel costs to one resident per each training facility in the Western Section (to be selected by the program chief). The amount is $500 except when the meeting is in Hawaii in which case it is $1000. Are you interested in future leadership and/or health and public policy issues? If yes, the AACU and WSAUA have collaborated on a $2,000 travel award to the Joint advocacy Conference in Washington, D.C. in March 2014. See details here.
