Message from Secretary

Dear members,

I hope everyone is doing well.

ASU has hosted several academic events in recent months. It is a matter of pride for our association that we have launched the first issue of our journal JASU - The Journal of Association of Southern Urologists, in January 2024 at the Patna USICON 2024. I circulated the link for the first issue of JASU to all our members. I thank the editorial team headed by Dr N Mallikarjun Reddy for bringing out a very informative first issue. I congratulate all the authors who have contributed to the first issue. I request all the members to send articles to JASU. JASU is our journal, and our valuable contributions will make it the most sought-after urology journal. For the benefit of our members, we have started the 2nd course on Research methodology and Biostatistics. Our President Dr Ginil Kumar always has a great vision for our association. Under his guidance we have formed a Research committee headed by Dr Arun Chawla. The Research committee will primarily help the postgraduates and our fellow urologists to do high quality research.

Dr Frederick Paul, council member from UAK organized a very informative CME “Bladder cancer- Update” on 7th January 2024. The council member activity from TAPASU is being conducted by Dr Dorairajan, council member from TAPASU in JIPMER, Pondicherry on 19th May 2024. The details are sent in the mail. All our members are invited to attend this program.

Our 35th annual conference is in Madurai from 26th to 28th July. The organizing team is working hard to give us great memories. I request you all to attend the conference and make it a grand success.

Dr Surya Prakash Vaddi

Secretary

Association of Southern Urologists
