This course comes from the 2025 AUGS Clinical Meeting where urogynecologists from across the nation came together to share invaluable advice on all aspects of care—from tackling challenging surgical scenarios, to addressing genitourinary symptoms of menopause, to performing complex, minimally invasive pelvic reconstructive surgeries. This course provides participants with practical wisdom and actionalble insights that can often take years to acquire post-fellowship!

Coure release date: May 27, 2025
This course expires on April 29, 2028.
