[Virtual skills-training in urology : Teaching at the Technical University of Munich during the COVID-19-pandemic].
The COVID-19 pandemic presents the challenge for medical education to teach practical skills without practical training. To provide an alternative to hands-on training during the COVID-19 lockdown, we created a virtual curriculum to teach practical skills using videos combined with online exams on a virtual e‑learning platform. The goal was to convey different theoretical and practical aspects of urology. ⋯ The virtual curriculum offered a fast and contactless alternative to the regular hands-on teaching.

[Practical skills training : How suitable is Peyton's four-step approach for residents in urology?]
The aim of residency is to acquire medical skills and abilities. One didactic model is "Peyton's four-step approach". The aim of the present study was to develop and evaluate a modified Peytonian approach for group interactions. The aim was to develop a course for the acquisition of practical skills and training assistants in suture techniques for urology. ⋯ This paper defines a four-step Peyton-based approach to teaching practical skills such as suturing and knotting used in urological training. The modified teaching method improved practical skills used in urology. This method should be considered in continuing education to promote self-confidence and increase the competence in surgical skills.
