YUO Leadership course during EAU20
The EAU Young Urologists Office (YUO) will offer a special Leadership course designed for young urologists on Sunday 22 March 2020 during the 35th Annual EAU Congress, in Amsterdam.
The Leadership for Medical Professionals Course will be from 08.30-12.30 hours and aims to give expert recommendations on how to develop leadership and management skills.
YUO Chairman Prof. Michiel Sedelaar said participants will be selected on a first-come-first-serve basis for the course. “We aim to provide skills training in various areas including management, decision-making and presentation skills, among others,” he said. During EAU19 in Barcelona, many urologists attended the course and gave it a positive rating.
The YUO is working on its Personal Development Programme by organising courses that focus on management and communication skills, leadership, finances, and related topics. Part of this programme is the course on leadership meant for young urologists (45 years old and younger) and related health professionals who have the potential to be future leaders.
