A premier urologic association, providing invaluable support to the urologic community.
Welcome
Thank you for visiting the Jamaica Urological Society’s website. I am highly enthusiastic at the opportunity to use this media to engage the public as well as other health care professionals in promoting awareness of the JUS and its members. In addition, we will be providing updates on the various activities, lectures, symposiums, workshops, publications and other events that are continually happening in the local urological space. Please stay tuned for upcoming schedules of events that we have planned for you, and regularly updated blogs and forums.
One of the main features of the website will be the posting of everything related to the Annual Symposium, our main yearly event. There will be links to the discussions and forums, online magazine, abstracts, sponsors’ booths and speaker contact details. Online registration for the Symposium will be much simplified. We are quite proud to offer this next level of accessibility to our audience.
It is my hope that this website serves as a powerful tool to unify those dedicated to discussing urological disease and treatments, because it is mainly through discussion that we can innovate. I appreciate your participation and interaction!
