What is "ivumed"

IVUmed is a nonprofit organization based in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. IVUmed (formerly International Volunteers in Urology), incorporated in 1995, is the only nonprofit organization worldwide dedicated to teaching urology in developing countries. In fulfilling this mission, IVUmed provides medical and surgical education to physicians and nurses and treatment to thousands of suffering children and adults. In contrast with other surgical nonprofit organizations, IVUmed’s mission is to teach the teachers. This approach ensures the long-term sustainability of programs and fosters the professional independence of IVUmed’s partners abroad.
