Can you help me determine the correct AUA membership category for my professional role?

Introduction

Choosing the correct American Urological Association (AUA) membership category ensures you receive the most pertinent resources, education, and networking opportunities tailored to your professional role. This guide will help you determine which membership category best aligns with your current position within the urological field.

Membership Categories Overview

The AUA offers several membership categories designed to accommodate the diverse professionals involved in urological care, education, and research. Selecting the correct category during the sign-up process is important to access the appropriate benefits and support.

Research Scientist Category

If you are a research scientist or hold a research leadership role focusing on urological research, the Research Scientist membership category is appropriate. This category connects you to specialized research resources, educational content, and collaboration opportunities within the AUA community.

Resident or Fellow Category

Medical residents or fellows training in urology should join under the Resident or Fellow membership category. Membership in this category provides access to tailored educational courses, mentorship programs, and professional development resources designed to support your training and career growth.
