Men experience a disproportionate burden of urologic and reproductive health conditions, making men's health an important area of clinical practice for primary care providers and other healthcare professionals. Rapid advances in screening, diagnostics, medications, imaging, and treatment options continue to reshape the management of prostate cancer, testosterone deficiency, urinary tract symptoms, sexual dysfunction, infertility, and other common men's health concerns. This comprehensive multidisciplinary course brings together experts in urology, primary care, mental health, sleep medicine, infectious disease, nephrology, physical therapy, and related specialties to provide evidence-based updates and practical clinical guidance. Participants will gain strategies for the evaluation, treatment, referral, and long-term management of common and complex men's health conditions encountered in everyday practice. Designed for physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, and other members of the healthcare team, the program emphasizes clinically relevant, patient-centered approaches that support improved outcomes, interdisciplinary collaboration, and enhanced quality of care for men across the lifespan.
