On today's "Membership Monday" episode of the AUA Inside Tract Podcast, we're highlighting ways urology residents can get the most from their experience at the upcoming AUA Annual Meeting.

The 2019 Annual Meeting takes place May 3-6 in Chicago, Ill. This podcast episode is hosted by Dr. Ben Ristau of the AUA's Young Urologists Committee.

This year's Annual Urology Advocacy (AUA) Summit was held March 4-6 on Capitol Hill.

It focused on expanding, strengthening and unifying the voice of urology on policy matters affecting practices and patients. This episode includes interviews with Dr. Chris Gonzalez and Brad Stine, AUA Legislative and Political Affairs Director.

The 2019 Urology Residency Match results were recently released by the Society of Academic Urologists (SAU) and the AUA.

On this episode of the Inside Tract, we interview three urology residents: Hans Arora, MD, PhD, Meena Davuluri, MD, MPH, and Michael Ernst, MD.

These residents share their match day experience, and give us their  thoughts on the urology match as a whole. For more statistics and facts on the recent Urology Residency Match, please visit AUAnet.org. 

In this episode of AUA Inside Tract, we discuss talking with patients about Non-Metastatic CRPC treatment options with guest Dr. Alexander Kutikov. Dr. Kutikov is chief of the Division of Urologic Oncology at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. 

This discussion takes place as the urologist's role continues to expand in the treatment and care of non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC).
