TTMed Urology Online Course

Welcome

I am pleased to present the TTMed online course on Female Urinary Incontinence. This course is designed to present current views of experts in the field of female urinary incontinence in a user-friendly and interactive format combining written text, images and audiovisual interviews together with appropriate references suggesting further reading, links and a self-assessment test.

The target audience should include all those who have an interest in female urinary incontinence including urologists, gynecologists, general practitioners, geriatricians, nurses and physiotherapists. The course, which has been divided into four independent modules, is intended as a comprehensive up-to-date overview of the subject.
