AUGS Clinical Meeting

January 25-27, 2024 | Virtual

Surgical experts from Urogynecology and Colo-Rectal Surgery come together in one forum to provide expert advice on challenging patient scenarios. Using a case-based, interactive approach, this course is designed to offer practical clinical and surgical pearls for the management of women with complex pelvic floor disorders and complications. 

This course aims to impart, through its diverse faculty, clinical acumen that can otherwise take years to accumulate beyond fellowship training. Throughout this 3-day virtual course, participants will be able to join multi-faculty sessions that include panel discussions and debates. 

In partnership with Latin American urogynecologists, the 2024 Clinical Meeting will also feature sessions that provide perspectives in treatment of POP/UI in Latin America.

Call for Difficult Case Submissions

If you are interested in submitting a difficult case for consideration during the complex case panel discussion, please submit the following to education@augs.org by December 15, 2023.

Please submit a clinical scenario, ideally a real patient case, where you're uncertain about the optimal next steps in diagnosis and/or treatment. The case can involve a rare condition or a common one but should present multiple options in how to best approach the problem, prompting valuable discussions among experts and audience about the advantages and disadvantages of each option.
