The clinical need for undergraduate urology (original) (raw)

The paper discusses the insufficient undergraduate exposure to urology in UK medical schools and its implications for patient care. Highlighting that urologists and foundation trainees consider current training inadequate, it advocates for the implementation of compulsory urological placements in medical curricula. A proposed outcome-based teaching plan, aligned with guidelines from the British Association of Urological Surgeons, aims to enhance core urological competencies among medical students, emphasizing the need for practical experience in recognizing and managing urological issues.
