ABU CUC REVIEW ARTICLE PROGRAM

Welcome to the American Board of Urology (ABU) Continuing Urologic Certification (CUC) Review Article Program. The ABU CUC Review Article Program is managed by the American Urological Association (AUA). This program is only available to ABU Diplomates currently enrolled in the ABU Continuing Urologic Certification program. The goal of this program is to ensure Diplomates are staying current with guidelines and journal articles in their areas of practice. Each Diplomate is requested to select eight articles and complete the associated assessment. The results of each assessment will be provided to the ABU, regardless of score, so please ensure that you take each of the eight assessments seriously.
