Information
AUA2026 YU Forum: Beyond the Scope: Non-traditional Opportunities in Urology invites you to reimagine what a career in urology can look like. This year’s YU Forum breaks away from the traditional panel format and delivers a dynamic TED-style speaker series featuring short, high-impact talks from early-career urologists who are carving unique paths within the specialty.
Through personal stories, bold ideas, and lessons learned, speakers will highlight the passion, resilience, and creativity that shape success beyond the exam room. Walk away inspired, energized, and equipped with practical takeaways you can apply to your own career—no matter where you are in your training or practice.
If you’re ready to think bigger, challenge expectations, and explore the many ways to thrive in urology, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
