Undergraduate teaching of urology: Quo vadis?

ABSTRACT:

Background

The undergraduate teaching of urology is not uniform in the various European medical schools and even absent in some of them, despite the widespread adoption of the Bologna process, which advocates a standardization and harmonization of medical education. Our aim was to evaluate the perception of junior doctors about the undergraduate teaching of Urology and the exposure to the specialty of Urology in undergraduate education in Portuguese medical schools.

Methods

A questionnaire was emailed to all physicians who first enrolled in the Board of Portuguese Doctors in 2017 and 2018. The questionnaire consisted of several questions about specialty exposure, pathology, and basic urological procedures. A database for statistical analysis was created.
