ANKARA, TURKEY (Press Release) - December 26, 2012 - The International Young Urologists Association (IYUA), which is based in USA and Turkey, has organized 2 international events to take place in 2013.

Our 1st Course on Percutaneous Access and Cryotherapy to the Kidney and Prostate will be held in Izmir, Turkey on April, 16-18, 2013. This special course will encompass training on cadavers, as well as live surgery, and aims to provide and cover the most up-to-date techniques on percutaneous access to the kidney and prostate.

IYUA also brings urologists and anatomists together for its 1st International Uroanatomy Congress. The event will take place in Izmir, Turkey on June 14-16, 2013. This international event targets urologists, anatomists, radiologists, pathologists. IYUA President Dr. Emre Huri says “The congress aims to provide the most up-to-date theoretical knowledge on the anatomy of urological interest. Starting from the basic and embryological anatomy, several scientists will review the different aspects of the surgical, radiological, and pathological anatomy of the abdomen, retroperitoneum, pelvis, external genitalia, and perineum in order to give a full comprehension of the different views of urological diseases. Dedicated hands-on training sessions for the participants in the ‘2nd Surgical & Theoretical Urologic Anatomy Dissection Course’ will be the right occasion to create in-depth discussion and to analyze particular aspects of urologic anatomy. I hope this congress contributes greatly to the science.”

About IYUA
The International Young Urological Association (IYUA) was founded in December 2010. It differs from other national and international "medical specialty" associations by aiming to be a "complementary and supportive" association that exists on an international platform to cultivate manpower for all such urology associations worldwide. Having first been introduced in Turkey, the urology resident and young consultant model was particularly well received and accepted in Europe and has since aimed to become active in America, Europe and other countries chosen to be representated by young academic urologists. In line with the basic aim of the association, the members of the board of directors are our fellow urology residents who are working, or have worked, in various teaching clinics and organizations. The aim of this association is to raise awareness and support the progress of our colleagues who have both administrative and scientific merit. This association plans what is essentially the second step in a urology career on an international level – being a "young attending." It deals with everything from the vocational, social, personal, and most importantly, academic expectations of this process. The main goals can be summarized as focusing on the problems of our young colleagues in a comprehensive manner, planning work on a voluntary basis, and most importantly, ensuring the delivery of personal projects to the masses.
