The ISSM has recognized that there exists a gap in knowledge and prosthetic surgical skills in several regions in the world as identified by ISSM’s leaders, KOL’s, faculty and members and through its affiliated organizations. There also has been a sustained and high level of interest in prosthetic urology within ISSM membership and at ISSM scientific meetings, which has led to many ISSM activities over the last years including the successful launch of ISSM’s Video Journal of Prosthetic, the increased number of prosthetic urology sessions at our World Meetings and the establishment of a dedicated Surgeon's Corner in our flagship Journal of Sexual Medicine (JSM).

In keeping with our international mission to foster excellence in education, knowledge, surgical skill and patient care in all aspects of sexual medicine supported by the increased interest in prosthetic surgery ISSM has developed a strategic initiative to enhance surgical skills. This program consists of a comprehensive ISSM branded didactic and hands-on prosthetic training course -led by the world’s leading experts in the field- that is accessible to skilled surgeons who will be able to acquire the required competencies, knowledge, attitudes and skills with the goal to better enable them to operate independently.
