Despite the sheer number of attendees #AUA25 I ran across our two past residents Penn State Urology who graduated in 2019 mingling with Susan MacDonald, MD our current program director: Chris Riney & Neil J. Kocher, MD FPMRS - they are looking well (and alike)

One of the great benefits of attending #AUA25 is meeting colleagues you have worked w/ and catching up on what they have been doing over lunch: Peter Pinto is still working at National Cancer Institute and Leah McMann, pediatric urologist is still in Hawaii, living and working in paradise

At today's reception for Amer. Urol. Assn. Guidelines Committee members I was fortunate to meet Dr. Michel Labreque, vasectomist extraordinaire (rather than zoom) & meet Dr. Steven Maislos (on BPH Guidelines committee) - very educational to trade notes on practice patterns #AUA25

The Penn State Urology Alumni & Staff reception at the "Flight Club" at #AUA25 was a great success - got to meet our past and current residents, associates and meet fellow staff in a nonacademic, relaxed environment.

An informal gathering of former residents & staff from the Tripler Army Medical Center urology residency program #AUA25 - I'm the oldest, but the younger ones are now program directors or chiefs of the urology service, or thriving in their current practice all across the US

At #AUA25 I was fortunate to again meet Dr. Shaw Wan, inventor of the ClearPetra access sheath (met him last year at #AUA24). He shared his insights and gave advice how to bring an idea for an invention to market, and how he came up with the name "ClearPetra"

Congrats to Joris Vangeneugden for the best video for today's Video Session 11 (Misc Benign / Transplant / Renovascular): Pediatric robot-assisted kidney transplantation: the European experience, and many thanks to my co-moderators Max Levine & Mohamed Eltemamy #AUA25 Amer. Urol. Assn.

Pleased to see our article “National Trends in Surgical Mx for BPH from 2013 2019” that made the cover of Urology Practice and authored by Jacob Feiertag, MD when he was a medical student (now MD) and did research Penn State Urology was shown during the BPDSociety meeting this AM #AUA25
