Shortly after the last international webinar, the IUA is planning to convene the second webinar of IUA webinar series on Thursday May 28th 2020 at 12:00 – 14:30 (GMT) with well-known international lecturers in attendance. The routes of attending this webinar and more details will be out soon according to, Dr.Farzin Soleimanzadeh, the manager of this scientific program.
In recent months COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all activities across the globe and Healthcare professionals are in the center of this battle against the problem. Although the annual congress of IUA is the most important scientific event of the prosperous urology society of Iran, concerning the safety and well being of every society member, the board of IUA directors has decided to postpone the congress to August 4 – 7.
In view of the fact that this pandemic has caused a noticeable number of international events to be postponed or cancelled and regarding the dynamic and unpredictable identity of this condition, there is a possibility of further changes; nevertheless the IUA is going on with August 4-7 for the present and is precisely evaluating the situation according to the reports of health ministry, epidemiologic associations, international health institutes and urological associations.
Hoping for this condition being controlled in the near future, the IUA tends to compile the best provisions based on the scientific findings to face this situation cooperating with urology society members.
The board of IUA directors
Reported by the public relations of IUA, after the yearly evaluation of JBI and meeting the needed standards, the EBM center of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences has officially become the first and only scientific hub of JBI (JBI center of excellence) in Iran thanks to the continuous efforts of scientific committee and the collaborators. This success is achieved after only two years of becoming an Affiliated Group of JBI in 2018.
The JBI of Australia is one of the most important and respectable international institutes in evidence based practice incorporating 70 active institutes in 34 countries around the world.
IUA congratulates this achievement to the medical sciences universities.
With virtual conferences being popular due to the new condition created by COVID-19 pandemic, University of Basrah has arranged a 1-day symposium in partnership with Iranian Urologists. For more information about the schedule and communication paths check the links below.
