Description
Dear Colleague,
The UC San Diego School of Medicine, Division of Urology and the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center would like to invite you to attend the 3rd Annual UCSD Urology Postgraduate Course. This year’s course will take place March 13-15, 2010 at the Hilton Torrey Pines Hotel in La Jolla, California overlooking the world famous Torrey Pines Golf Course. We are delighted to present a world-class group of visiting faculty including Drs. Patrick Walsh, Jihad Kaouk, James L’ Esperance, Damien Bolton, Marshall Stoller, and Brian Auge.
Our symposium will focus on urologic oncology, urinary stone disease and innovative minimally invasive surgery advances such as single incision surgery and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). The 2010 course will include live surgery feeds from the UC San Diego Medical Center operating rooms to the conference center where we will have concurrent faculty critiques and audience discussion. We will include ample time for audience questions and will include discussions of challenging clinical scenarios in each section of the course.
Please join us in beautiful San Diego to welcome the spring of 2010.
Sincerely,
Christopher J. Kane, MD
