MULJIBHAI PATEL UROLOGICAL HOSPITAL, NADIAD Jayaramdas Patel Academic Centre UroOncology Course 6th & 7th May 2011 for the practicing Urologists and post-graduate students Muljibhai Patel Urological Hospital (MPUH) Nadiad is organizing a two-day Course on Uro-Oncology for the practicing urologists and post graduate students in urology. This is the sixth Course in the series of Uro-oncology Courses at MPUH /JPAC. This course is aimed at a very different level. It has lot of clinical cases which we see in the day-to-day practice and plenty of operative videos to watch. The recent advances will be presented and the controversial issues will be discussed thread bear. The whole foundation of the course is based on ‘evidence based medicine’. Uro-oncology as a science has different dimensions, and the course is aimed to absorb all these dimensions so that we can offer the highest standard of care to our patients. The Course will help the practicing urologists to upgrade their knowledge of uro-oncology and acquire newer skills. It will also benefit the post graduate students in urology, and the surgical oncologists who have interest in uro-oncology. Attempts would be made to allow each delegate to participate in case studies and have maximum interaction. Course material would be given to all the delegates in the form of synopsis of major presentations, cancer care guidelines and suggested readings. In the real sense, it will be a Crash Course covering every bit of uro-oncology. Dr. Makarand Khochikar is the Course Director. Dr. Mahesh Desai, Medical Director & Managing Trustee, MPUH & Director, JPAC; and Dr. R B Sabnis, Chairman, Dept of Urology, MPUH will also be among the faculty. ******** joseph Purathur Anthony www.mpuh.org
