IUGA International Symposium on A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Prevention and Management of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

The IUGA is dedicated to the global advancement of urogynecological knowledge and patient care through education and the promotion of basic and clinical research on disorders of the female pelvic floor. We recognize that urogynecology is a multi-disciplinary field that benefits from the expertise of primary care physicians, urologists, midwives, gynecologists, nurses, and allied health professionals, in addition to urogynecologists. This symposium will be targeted at physiotherapists, midwives, nurses, and other allied health professionals who play a crucial role in the treatment of pelvic floor disorders. Working together is the only way we will provide optimal care for our patients. Join us in recognizing and breaking the barriers!

After participating in this symposium, attendees will have a clear understanding of:

• The long-term implications that birth trauma/pelvic floor dysfunction has on women's physical and emotional well being
• Clinical practices that may reduce the risk of pelvic floor dysfunction and optimize post-partum outcomes
• Strategies/ideas to enhance inter-disciplinary partnerships in local hospitals or clinics
