The purposes of this Society are to improve the art and science of Urology through basic and applied clinical research in urodynamics and neurourology, voiding function and dysfunction, female urology and pelvic floor dysfunction, and to disseminate and teach these concepts. Urodynamics means the study of the transport, storage, and expulsion of urine. Applied clinical research involves both diagnostic and treatment modalities.
The Society also fosters interdisciplinary dialogue and communication, promotion of the development of young scientists, and the development of scientific, educational, and professional activities through publications (specifically, The Journal of Neurourology and Urodynamics will serve as the official journal of the society), meetings, and original activities to assist in the establishment of standards of care. The Society for Urodynamics and Female Urology is a not-for-profit corporation in the state of Missouri for these purposes of education, research, health, culture, and professional advancement |
