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. 

Please find below an overview of different topics that will be offered during the congress.
