URO^MA Registrants information page

The Uro^MA (“Yur-O-M-A”) online course covers important topics related to medical assisting in a urology practice. This program is an interactive online learning experience broken down into seven learning modules. At the end of the course participants will obtain a certificate of completion after passing the final exam in module eight.

To register for the URO^MA program, simply click here and enter your name, practice name (as it is on the LUGPA member profile), and e-mail address. You will also need to note a supervisor who will shadow you as you take the course. The supervisor will also be registered for the course and will receive a confirmation email and username.

If you are a supervisor or an administrator, please visit this page. An administrator can register themselves for the program and not have a medical assistant or a supervisor to note. However, if you are not a supervisor or administrator, you must indicate a supervisor who will be registered with you.
