SIU scholar: Dr. Johar Raza Syed.

Johar Raza Syed, SIU Scholar. The Soci et e Internationale d’Urologie (SIU) offers Training Scholarships for young doctors with basic surgical or urological qualifications. The SIU Scholarships involve training in a recognized urological center of excellence located in the candidate’s geographic region. These SIU-accredited centers provide an excellent environment for learning and, in many instances, hands-on experience, so that candidates may acquire knowledge and skills that they will be able to transfer to their own setting of practice. In this series of short communications, SIU Scholars write about the impact that these training opportunities facilitated by the SIU had on their quality of care and career development. Information about applying for an SIU Scholarship is available at http://www. siu-urology.org/.
