Raj S. Pruthi, MD, MHA FACS, Professor and Chair, Department of Urology
The University of California, San Francisco, Department of Urology is committed to ensuring that urologists achieve the highest standards of professional training. We do this through a rich program of conferences, events, Visiting Professor lectures, and other continuing medical education opportunities presented by some of the field's top thought leaders. Our goal is to support residents, fellows and the greater urologic community of physicians with the latest urologic evaluation, intervention, and research.
The novel coronavirus has disrupted the world as we know it, but UCSF Urology has not halted our commitment to teach. With the help of technology, partnerships, and our world-class institution, we've broadened our outreach to serve our field globally. We hope you will join us.
