The University of Florida Department of Urology residency training program earned top awards at the 74th Annual Meeting of the Florida Urological Society (FUS) in Miami Beach, FL, September 1–4, 2022.
The meeting traditionally features two competitions between residents from across the state. Both contests are intended to generate robust, spirited academic debate among rising urologists. UF PGY3 resident Dr. Samir Merheb won first place in the Milton Coplan Pyelogram Hour, a resident case presentation competition, on September 2nd. On September 4th, PGY3 residents Drs. Austin Krishingner and Michael Massari placed first and second place, respectively, in the Victor Politano Resident Debates.
The Department of Urology is tremendously proud of the PGY3 class and grateful for the academic enrichment provided by this year’s FUS meeting.
