As a patient, patient advocate, and Board Member of Active Surveillance Patients International, I will be making a presentation at the AUA’s Patient Perspectives Program, now in its second year.

As the AUA describes: “….[The Program] is designed to elevate awareness and bring patient voices into the fold. This engaging program aims to help physicians and healthcare providers understand what success looks like in patient-physician communication and shared decision-making.

I am honored to have had my abstract accepted and will be among fourteen patient presenters sharing their journeys through a wide spectrum of Genitourinary Disorders.

My topic will be focused on Presenting Patients’ Voices to Urologists Regarding Prostate Cancer and AS Protocols in Support of Shared Decision Making.

PLEASE NOTE: Any patient who wishes to contribute their voice to my presentation of patients’ collective voices to urologists and the PCa medical community, please email me at mgewirtz@me.com expressing your interest and I will be in touch with you! Any voices represented in my presentation will be strictly anonymous!

Stay tuned for more!
