International
AUA is Proud to be the Most Global Organization in Urology!
The AUA is a global membership organization and is proud that roughly 25% of its membership resides outside the United States. To better meet the needs of members around the world, AUA provides significant discounts on annual dues for international members — urologists save up to 52% off AUA’s domestic dues rate! The AUA is mindful of the economic disparities around the globe; international membership dues are stratified based on the World Bank Classification of Countries.
The AUA is committed to advancing urology around the world, and we invite the global urologic community to become members of the AUA and enjoy the many benefits of membership, like subscriptions to The Journal of Urology® and AUA’s family of publications, major savings on Annual Meeting, access to the Urology Core Curriculum and other exclusive content in AUAUniversity and more.
Here are ways the AUA serves the global urologic community:
