The ‘Virtual patient’ session is the participants’ most favorite part. More and more frequently medical practice is faced with dilemmas, and the patient asks for a second opinion. The problem lies in the conflicting views of physicians. Is there only one therapeutic option? And what role does every individual patient's profile play in whether we follow or not follow the guidelines?

There is no doubt that Medicine is making strides. It is estimated that over 50% of the knowledge taught to University students will be obsolete by the time they get their degree. In the face of rapid advancements, doctrines of decades may be proven wrong, and whole chapters in books are revised and written all over again. On the other hand, clinical experience continually discovers new "smart" ways of clinical manipulations that unfortunately may never be recorded in books. Therefore, UroSecrets serve a dual purpose: introduce us with completely new ‘chapters’ of Medicine that are now beginning to have an impact on our daily practice, and teach us the ‘unrecorded’ secrets of experience.

The Interactive Seminars deal with various issues concerning the Urologist in an integrated way. They have a duration of 90 minutes, with half of the time dedicated for questions and comments from the audience. This interactive process is the ideal way to convey both knowledge and clinical skills; it is somehow like a ‘final dress rehearsal’ before applying the newly acquired knowledge in clinical practice the very next day.

Simple daily Urological manipulations are usually not discussed at scientific conferences. However, these are issues that Urologists are discussing with each other on a daily basis, because they often seem simple but, in fact, they are not. UroSchool always focuses on simple and everyday issues. Therefore, we are discussing difficulties that we may have encountered during the first year of our Residency, but sometimes are still troubling us today and may keep troubling us till the end of our professional career.
