Research Partner Network

RPN.jpg

Are you conducting research and looking to help create a multi-center research partnership? IUGA is here to help! As the leading international authority in the field of urogynecology, we have recently launched the IUGA Research Partner Network. As IUGA is a truly international organization, we are in a great position to help build international networks in research. We are committed to creating connections, fostering partnerships and collaborations, and helping to build an international network of research partners. Sign up today and let other IUGA members know about the research you are conducting and how they can get involved. If you are looking to get involved with an ongoing project and are looking for partners, this is also a great resource for you!

Surgical Committee

Purpose:

The IUGA Surgical Committee is responsible for curating and promoting resources to support surgical education.

In 2023, the founders of the International Academy of Pelvic Surgery (IAPS), Dr. Mark Walters, Dr. Mickey Karram, and Cheryl Perrero generously donated the IAPS platform and all of its contents to IUGA. With over 500 surgical videos spanning across 37 modules, the inclusion of IAPS within the IUGA academy will be a significant enhancement to our members' benefits. Additionally to this initiative, the Surgical Committee will curate monthly videos and articles to enrich our members' educational experience.
