WSAUA Sends Five Aspiring Leaders to AUA Advocacy Summit
WSAUA Attendees to the AUA Advocacy Summit in Washington DC, March 12-14
Many thanks to AUA for helping us establish a pathway for our Resident’s and Young Urologists interested in leadership, advocacy and health policy issues.
Kai Dallas, MD – Sponsored Young Urologist, Resident “Prior to the summit, I was completely unaware of the importance of advocacy to allow us to best care for our patients (and ourselves). I have to admit, over the course of my training hearing the frequent grumblings about the state of the system from other doctors was disheartening for a young trainee. Having the opportunity to see (and take part of) efforts to actually address these concerns has truly inspired me. I hope to remain actively involved in advocacy and work directly with you in these endeavors in the future.”
