Huge spotlight on @sjvereeck (SashaVereecken) 🇨🇦 and @_mooreKJ (Kieran Moore) 🇨🇦 for going all-in on our IFRUE.org mission to redefine our specialty! While the U.S. has often lagged in adopting modern nomenclature, Canada and Europe embraced “functional urology” early—following the pioneering work of Dr. Sender Herschorn and the European Association of Urology’s formal recognition in 2008. Sasha and Kieran share that global vision, and their leadership helped make this paper a reality! Our latest narrative review in Translational Andrology and Urology, "The evolution of functional and reconstructive urology [1940–2026]: a narrative review of its historical foundations and future trajectories," traces the multi-decade trajectory of FRU. This publication reflects the broader IFRUE mission: creating synergy across our @CU_Urology FRU fellowship training model, cutting-edge research, and the annual @IFRUEUrol cadaver lab and conference. 📖 Read open access: tau.amegroups.org/article/vi… 🌐 Join the movement: ifrue.org Stay tuned for our upcoming feature on the @BackTableUrology podcast and upcoming pieces in @UrologyTimes #Urology #UroSoMe #IFRUE #MedEd #SurgicalEducation

As the Scientific Chair, I am excited to welcome you back for our third year. The NextGen FRUE Cadaver & Simulation Lab in Denver is growing exponentially and has officially become the premier Open Lab format in functional reconstructive and BPH/Endourology. There is truly no other workshop where you can train on multiple medical devices across so many disciplines, side-by-side with leading industry vendors. The energy at the surgical tables is unmatched, but the experience goes way beyond the hands-on training—we place a massive emphasis on post-lab networking and high-level mentoring with our outstanding global faculty. Because of this, spots are filling faster than ever, and capacity is strictly limited. Time is officially running out. Act immediately to secure your place. 1️⃣ Register for the Conference: ifrue.org2️⃣ Secure your Lab Spot Before it Fills: ifrue.org/cadaver-lab/
