The American Urological Association Patient Perspectives Program is looking for urological patients to share their story at the 2024 annual meeting in San Antonio, Texas, (meeting dates are May 3-6). This program aims to help physicians and healthcare providers understand what success looks like in patient-physician communication and shared decision-making.

Submissions of patient stories are now being accepted for consideration to be presented at AUA2024. Each selected presenting author will receive a travel stipend to attend the meeting and present their story.

Submissions must address the question: "What adaptations did you and/or your healthcare team implement to improve your health?"

Topics may include but are not limited to:

- Interventions with exercise, diet, or lifestyle changes

- Use of complementary therapy (not medication specific)

- Enhanced communication and shared decision-making with your healthcare team

- Patient advocacy research

- The role social media and/or support groups have had in making a positive impact on your care or quality of life

- Adaptations made by you and your healthcare team that other physicians and urology professionals should know more about

Medication- or therapy-specific interventions will not be accepted.
