103rd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Urological Association

It is a great pleasure for us to welcome you to the 103rd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Urological Association (JUA) to be held in Kanazawa, Japan from 18th April to 21st April 2015.

‘Imagine Future Urology, Believe in Your Dreams! ' is the main theme of this meeting. Why did we choose this message? Rapid changes in the clinical practice of urology are causing concern among young urologists about their future as well as the future of urology itself. Issues also exist in fields like pediatric urology, female urology, and kidney transplantation that sometimes overlap and conflict with other departments.

It is our goal to encourage and guide younger urologists so that they will continue their clinical and research work free from worry. In addition to many educational seminars for young urologists, our conference offers an innovative program to introduce cutting-edge technology and treatment.

Another important component of the congress is a cross-border sharing of talent and experience. The JUA International would like to extend a special invitation to urologists from around the world to join us for this meeting. There will be a special international session [JUA International]; young urologists from overseas will have the opportunity to listen to lectures from world-renowned urological specialists. The session will also provide a chance for junior doctors to present their research and to receive input and advice from these senior doctors.

We hope that you will join us for the exciting and informative program at the 2015 JUA and contribute to the exchange of knowledge and experience in the field of urology.
