Join SPU MEMBERSHIP IN THE SOCIETY FOR PEDIATRIC UROLOGY
Membership Chair: Patrick Cartwright, M.D.
Individuals who have a significant interest in pediatric
urology may apply for membership in the Society for
Pediatric Urology (SPU). There are seven types of membership
in the SPU: Active, Fellow, Affiliate, Corresponding,
Senior, Honorary and Candidate.
Active Members are urologists who practice more than
50% pediatric urology. Active members must belong to
either the American Urological Association or the Royal
College of Surgeons and must take the Pediatric Urology
In-Service Exam within 2 years of application. A full
CV and list of publications is required. Applicants
for Active Membership must be sponsored by an SPU Active
or Senior Member and must also be endorsed by two Active
or Senior SPU Members. Applicants must also submit a
completed Operative Log.
Fellows are Active Members who perform 100% pediatric
urology and participate in at least 15 hours of category
1 CME continuing medical education related to pediatric
urology per year. All Fellows must be Active Members,
but can be elected to Active membership and Fellowship
simultaneously. Applicants for Fellowship must have
taken the Pediatric Urology In-Service Exam the year
prior to making application, and if the applicant has
finished his or her urology residency after 1998, must
have completed an accredited fellowship in pediatric
urology. Fellowship applications require one letter
of endorsement from an Active or Senior member of the
SPU and 2 letters from urologists practicing in the
area attesting that the applicant limits their practice
to pediatric urology. Applicants must also submit a
completed Operative Log.
Candidate Members are those urologists currently enrolled
in an accredited Pediatric Urology Training Program,
or who have recently completed a Pediatric Urology Fellowship
or Training Program and are board eligible in Urology.
