Soroush Rais-Bahrami, M.D., FACS, will be traveling to Japan to participate in the American Urological Association/Japanese Urological Association (AUA/JUA) Exchange Program from April 1 through April 20. Rais-Bahrami will spend the majority of the three-week program in Kyoto before traveling to Fukuoka for the JUA Annual Meeting on April 17-19.

The reciprocal experience is intended for academic urologists to benefit from shared knowledge and experiences with colleagues in Japan to facilitate collaboration and identify future leaders in both the AUA and JUA.

Program participants spend three to four weeks at academic centers in Japan, where they observe urologic surgeries and procedures, attend clinics, present lectures, and participate in staff activities.
