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).
