Training program for improving women's health research in pelvic floor disorders
UrogynCREST Program
The UrogynCREST program is a friendly training opportunity for assistant professors in urogynecology to learn more about pelvic floor disorders, like urinary and fecal incontinence, so they can better help women manage these issues through a two-year online learning experience that includes both teaching and hands-on practice.
