NY Section Annual Meeting

We wish all the program leadership the best in Paris & Normandy, France at the 2011 meeting of the New York Section of the AUA!

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

Prostate Cancer is the single most common cancer detected in men and the second most lethal. About a quarter of a million men in the US will be diagosed with prostate cancer this year. If you are a man 40 years of age or older, talk with your doctor about getting screened for prostate cancer, it just might save your life.

Downstate Urology fundraiser

Dear All,

Darren Mack, MD, U-2 at SUNY Downstate Urology, has brilliantly launched a campaign to raise funds for a number of residency-related projects. Among these include purchase of the new 2011-edition Campbell's Urology textbooks, surgical loupes, and Downstate Urology-logo lab coats for all 15 residents. We also intend to send each resident to one specialty meeting per year in the hopes of augmenting the academic side of our already outstanding, unique clinical program. My gratitude to Darren for lending his considerable expertise and enthusiasm to such a worthy endeavor, and many thanks to all contributors.

Best,

Jeff
