Topic: Female Urinary Incontinence: A Primary Care Guide to Evaluation & Management

Speaker: Dr Seema Sheth

Learning Objectives: 

• Classify the major types of female urinary incontinence — stress (SUI), urgency (UUI), and mixed — and describe their underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms
• Conduct an evidence-based initial evaluation of female UI using history, physical examination, and urinalysis, without routine urodynamics, cystoscopy, or imaging
• Apply first-line behavioral therapies — including pelvic floor muscle training and bladder training — appropriately for both SUI and overactive bladder (OAB).
• Select appropriate pharmacotherapy for OAB through shared decision-making, distinguishing the benefits and risks of antimuscarinics versus beta-3 agonists
• Identify indications for specialist referral to urology or urogynecology, including red flag symptoms, treatment failure, and surgical candidacy for SUI.

Topic: Hematuria in Primary Care: A Practical Guide to Diagnosis, Assessment, and Evaluation

• Identify the essential initial laboratory workup required to confirm and evaluate hematuria in primary care
• Apply the AUA 2025 risk stratification criteria to determine appropriate imaging and referral pathways.
• Recognize clinical scenarios that warrant urgent urology or nephrology referral.
• Understand special diagnostic considerations for women, the elderly, and anticoagulated patients.
