Review[Urology training in Germany: international comparison of educational concepts and satisfaction].
The training of residents in urology is challenged by global trends in surgical education, increasing technological developments, subspecialization of the field and working hour regulations for physicians. Currently, there is no standardized curriculum in Europe and significant international differences exist in the education of residents. ⋯ Structured and validated competence assessments and not "minimum numbers of operations" may help improve surgical training. An objective nationwide examination at the end of residency may be useful for international benchmarking.
