At the request of the Society of University Urologists a survey of urological teaching at 113 United States medical schools was done. The most distressing finding was that more than two-thirds (68 per cent) of the schools do not require any clinical exposure to urology before graduation. In view of the fact that urology is rarely, if ever, taught in any of the primary care disciplines after graduation, it is suggested that patient care may well suffer for this shortcoming in our medical education curriculum.
应美国大学泌尿科医师学会的要求，对113所美国医学院校的泌尿外科教学情况进行了一项调查。最令人担忧的发现是，超过三分之二（68%）的院校在毕业前不要求学生有任何泌尿外科临床实习经历。鉴于毕业后在任何初级保健学科中几乎都不会讲授泌尿外科知识，有人认为，我们医学教育课程中的这一缺陷很可能会影响患者护理。
