ESU Hands-on Training Courses
The European School of Urology (ESU) has developed innovative and effective Hands-on Training (HOT) courses, in partnership with the EAU Sections and EAU Working Groups, which offer practice and development of individual skills.
Hands-on Training (HOT) courses are offered in many of our events. Lively interaction among participants, faculty and tutors makes much of this work an effective and memorable way to gain and consolidate knowledge.
Registration for Hands-on training courses will open up in the coming weeks. Once open for registration, delegates can sign up for Hands-on Training courses when registering for EAU26, by editing their existing registration, or on-site if still available.
