AUA reserves the right to cancel any AUA2021 Hands-on Skills Trainings for any reason before August 16, 2021. In particular, our ability to offer these activities is contingent upon offering them safely for registrants, faculty, staff, and equipment providers in light of the evolving COVID-19 environment. If you have registered for an AUA2021 Hands-on Skills Training and it is subsequently canceled by AUA, you will be eligible for a full refund of that registration fee. If AUA cancels a Skills Training, notification will be sent to registered attendees by August 23, 2021. |

For 2021, AUA will offer Hands-on Skills Trainings, but with adaptations to contribute to social distancing and other safety requirements. Adaptations include offering didactic educational content online in advance of the course, and holding two separate two-hour sessions of hands-on instruction for each Skills Training. This is to reduce the size of each hands-on training cohort, and to allow more physical space between learners. Each learner will participate in one of the two two-hour sessions.
Learners will be assigned to a session by August 23, 2021.
