PFD Week 2024
PFD Week was created by AUGS to become the go-to meeting for health care professionals interested in or actively practicing Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery. The core of the meeting contains the traditional two-and-a-half days of scientific presentation with the addition of one day of surgical and clinical workshop sessions.
With this expanded focus, the meeting brings together physicians, physicians–in–training, researchers, physical therapists, advanced nurse practitioners, physician assistants and nurse practitioners to collaborate, network, and learn from each other’s expertise. PFD Week creates a forum to exchange knowledge, experience, and insights for the improvement of women’s urogynecologic care.
PFD Week is an inclusive meeting that offers access to internationally recognized leaders in the field and the opportunity to network with the most highly respected health professionals in urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery.
