Coronavirus Disease 2019 has impacted all aspects of urologic training. Didactics have shifted to a virtual platform and new approaches to surgical training have been undertaken. There has been a shift in research away from the laboratory space, with an increased focus on clinical outcomes and multi-institutional collaborations. Finally, there have been impacts on home life, questions about time away from work, case logs and case minimums, as well as how to manage resident and fellow reassignment. Herein, we review the current state of urologic education in the United States, focusing specifically on urologic oncology and highlight opportunities for the future.
2019 年冠状病毒病已经影响了泌尿外科培训的各个方面。教学已经转移到虚拟平台,并且已经采取了新的手术培训方法。研究方向已经从实验室转移,更加关注临床结果和多机构合作。最后,对家庭生活也产生了影响,包括对工作时间、病例记录和病例最低要求的质疑,以及如何管理住院医师和研究员的重新分配。在此,我们回顾了美国目前的泌尿外科教育状况,特别是泌尿外科肿瘤学,并强调了未来的机会。
