Led by some of the nations most esteemed men’s health experts, the symposium entitled, Optimizing Care for the Management of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, will help clinicians establish guideline-based, measurement tools with all patients with BPH/LUTS to monitor symptoms, treatments response, and quality of life.
Truly unique to the general setting of medical symposia, the faculty will teach the course via an interactive case challenge workshop, where faculty will engage participants in collaborative discussion of the data using audience response technology, patient case vignettes, and mini-breakout sessions.
