In 1956, 99% of all medical schools required a clinical rotation through urology during year 3 or 4. By 1978 this percentage had decreased to 48% and currently it is only 38%. In addition, an estimated 10 to 15% of medical school graduates have never been exposed to urology (no lectures and no clinical rotation). Urological diseases continue to comprise a significant percentage of problems encountered by primary care physicians. The Education Council of the American Urological Association has adopted urological education objectives that should be incorporated into the curriculum of every medical school.
1956年，所有医学院校中有99%要求在三年级或四年级安排泌尿外科临床实习。到1978年，这一比例降至48%，而目前仅为38%。此外，估计有10%至15%的医学院毕业生从未接触过泌尿外科（没有讲座，也没有临床实习）。泌尿外科疾病在初级保健医生遇到的问题中仍占相当大的比例。美国泌尿外科学会教育委员会已制定了泌尿外科教育目标，应将其纳入每所医学院校的课程。
