Report on First Joint Course ASU – ESU: Indonesia, December 3rd to 6th 2009

1. Lee Fang Jann, Singapore

The course was held over 2 days with the aim of updating the participants on recent advances in Urology. The first day saw presentation in topics pertaining to uro-oncology and the second day targeted topics in endo-urology. The course was well supported by a large local delegation and participants from regional countries. The faculty, all experts in their respective fields, took us through a very comprehensive and engaging discussion of the course topics. There was ample opportunity for the delegates to clarify points and share experiences after every session which help to enhance the learning process.
I have learned much from the course and benefitted from the sharing of experiences with the regional delegates. I thank the organizing and scientific committee on the well thought out and executed program and would strongly encourage all residents to attend future courses if given an opportunity.

2. Do Lenh Hung, Vietnam

I work at the Department of Urology A, Binh Dan Hospital in Vietnam. I attended the First Joint Course ASU - ESU; New Grand Hyatt Bali, December 3th to 6th 2009. In the first 2 days, I had the chance to attend the Joint Course ASU and ESU with many excellent lectures which will be helpful for me in the future in the role of a doctor and a medical teacher. I also had the chance to get acquainted with many internationally renowned experts in the fields of Uro-Oncology and Endo-Urology from Asia and Europe. In 2 days left, there was the 32nd Annual Meeting of Indonesian Association of Urology and it was impressive that there were many interesting topics. I could say that it was a successful meeting. Moreover, I also had the chance to visit many beautiful places in the famous island Bali.
At last, I would like to express my great thank to UAA who will sponsor my registration fees for the meeting to provide me a chance to upgrade my knowledge.
