Peer reviews, 2008 conference course evaluations, consensus of experts and focus groups, interviews with the members of the society, current literature and highlights of new techniques in urology determined the needs for the annual scientific conference. These sources indicated a need for further education in Uro-oncology, endourology, minimally invasive surgery, bladder and urethra, female urology/voiding dysfunction, pediatrics, and transplant/infertility

COURSE GOALS (continued)

2) Provide a forum for individual members and trainees to present the results of recent or ongoing urologic research in the Northwest region. 3) Provide opportunities for clinical urologists to present their experience with patients who have specific urologic disorders, with unusual or difficult clinical problems.
