Kelly Haser Pickens
Keynote Speaker ~ Noon – 1:30 PM
“TBA”
Ms. Universe 2022 started out as a wild child, runaway, troubled youth dealing with abuse and molestation and was placed in a Youth Crisis Center.
The professional counselors and staff listened, did not make choices for her but taught her the importance of looking ahead to the impact and consequences as she made her own life altering decisions.
Today Kelly deals with abused and neglected children as a volunteer, counselor, and mentor. She finds that the ability to relate and share experiences has a healing effect not only on them but herself as well.

We will discuss and teach techniques of bladder catheterization from simple to complicated as well as the management of Foley catheters. We will discuss renal colic and the workup and management of urolithiasis. The management of urinary tract infections is integral to the primary care setting. Time permitting, we can review and discuss other urological topics, including the acute scrotum, hematuria, genitourinary cancer detection, urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, enuresis, etc.
