On August 7, Houston Methodist hosted the 2024 Collaborative Urology Research Symposium (CUReS), a gathering that brought together leaders, faculty, and trainees from various institutions to present their latest research in Urology. The symposium was marked by three eminent keynote speakers and interactive podium sessions.
Rodrigo Donalisio de Silva, MD, an associate professor in Urology, took on the role of a moderator for the Early Career Podium Sessions. Steven E. Canfield, MD, professor and chief of the Division of Urology in the Department of Surgery, engaged in a lively crossfire debate focused on research designed explicitly for trainees.
The event also served as a platform to recognize the efforts of Rachel Pham, MD, and Stephen Palasi, MD, both current Urology residents. Their contributions, as well as those of numerous other residents and medical students, were showcased through thought-provoking poster sessions. The symposium was a testament to the innovative research being conducted in Urology.
