    • 42nd Meeting, Banff, AB

      1987-06-22

      42nd annual meeting held in Banff, AB

      • A motion is passed that the CUA have a central or permanent secretary 
      • Training, Education & Evaluation Committee and the Executive oppose the RCPSC proposal to remove MCQs from the Urology Examination
      • Training, Education & Evaluation Committee negotiates with the American Board of Urology (ABU) regarding their recent unilateral decision to disallow Canadian trainees to sit the ABU certification examinations – Final result is that only Canadian trainees who have a medical degree from Canada or US may qualify to sit the ABU, but requirements set make it difficult for any Canadian trainees to qualify  
      • The RCPSC considers the possibility of “Surgical Oncology” as a new surgical specialty.  The CUA counters that urologic oncology will always be a part of Urology and that “Surgical Oncology”  should be a branch of General Surgery and not represent all surgical disciplines
      • Economics & Manpower Committee reports a good balance between graduating residents and projected retirements
      • Clarified that CUASF scholarships be exclusively for potential academic urologists, and not PhD students in urology departments
