MONTREAL, March 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Societe Internationale d'Urologie is pleased to announce the launch of SIU Academy , a powerful new eLearning resource for urologists. Engineered for the cloud, SIU Academy can be accessed anywhere in the world. All users need is an Internet connection and a smartphone, tablet or computer to access a rich library of educational material specifically developed for urologists. The portal is a source of relevant and timely information on a variety of urological topics.

SIU Academy offers a wide range of searchable educational material, including: lectures, videos, case studies, webcasts, reviews, reports and more.
