Application and Webinars
Our official web site is ‘www.uropedia.com.tr’ .
‘Uropedia ’ is a web-based application which is compatible with
mobile devices, including mobile phone and tablets (Figure 1). Uropedia
shows videos of seminars and surgical techniques, webcasts of annual
meetings, a summary of guidelines, synopsis, or abstract of interesting
studies that are updating very often. In addition, courses on statistics
and article preparation are organized on this platform in order to
contribute to the development of residents and young experts.. In order
to keep this application up to date, a team of 15 people consisting of
very dynamic and young urologists working with a 3-person software team
and 2 assistants was established. A constant effort is made to keep the
site up-to-date and to include accurate information by distributing work
within a certain hierarchy scheme. Application is free for all
urologists during the pandemic era, and webinars were also free access
Also, the webinars are announced and promoted using social platforms,
(including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram ), and WhatsApp groups. We
share a brief of topics, ’presenters’ names, and free access links of
webinars before and the same day. The participants could watch the
seminars and comment or ask questions by using the application. The
webinars were included spotlighted updates of guidelines, live or
semi-live surgeries from mentors, current topics such as the Covid-19
pandemic. All webinars were published any day of the week at a
consistent time (6.45 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. EST).
