Explore the evolution of urological education at AUA2025
Step back in time at the History Booth in the Science & Technology Hall.
The practice of urology has long been shaped by a deep commitment to education, a tradition that dates back to ancient times. From the earliest understanding of the urinary system to the modern, data-driven techniques used in today’s surgical suites, urological education has evolved through centuries of discovery, innovation and excellence.
This journey is at the heart of “See, Do, Teach: Developing Urologists,” an immersive experience at History Booth #1845 in the Science & Technology Hall at AUA2025 in Las Vegas.
The foundation laid by Ramon Guiteras, the AUA’s first president, envisioned a future of excellence in training and care. That vision continues to thrive, transformed by groundbreaking advances in endoscopy, microsurgery, robotics, and artificial intelligence—technologies that have redefined how urologists teach, learn and deliver care. Today, the AUA leads the global urologic community in shaping the next generation of caregivers through standardized, innovative education.
