Our friends at IVUmed are seeking actively a practicing urologist to provide education and mentoring for their Traveling Resident Scholarship Program in Hue, Vietnam, from April 2-18, 2010. This program sends a mentor paired with a urology resident from the United States to a host country to collaborate with local physicians. Experienced locum tenens physicians make great mentors, so we encourage you to volunteer if the opportunity fits your schedule.

In recognition of World AIDS Day this December 1st, our colleagues and friends atIVUmed collaborated with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the American Urological Association (AUA), and Jhpiego (a nonprofit affiliate of Johns Hopkins University) to launch a aggressive fight against HIV/AIDS in Swaziland. IVUMed reports that, according to recent studies, male circumcision has been found to contribute significantly to the prevention of female-to-male HIV transmission. During a recent three-week campaign in Swaziland, IVUMed volunteers helped provide safe circumcisions to more than 7,000 men. IVUMed reports that this will translate into almost 2,000 HIV infections prevented.
