Teaching and learning in urogynecology.

This paper was delivered as the Ulf Ulmsten Memorial Lecture in Brisbane, QLD, Australia, in 2012. It emphasises how urogynaecology as a young specialty needs to learn some lessons from its forebears as to how new knowledge should be analysed and incorporated into practice. The paper highlights the value of mentorship and teamwork and the need to be aware of increasing patient expectations.
