[Certified continuing education curriculum of the German Society for Urology (WECU) : WECU status report and implications of the new continuing education regulations in clinical practice].

Abstract

The core points of the German education curriculum in urology (WECU) are high-quality professional training and close cooperation between inpatient and outpatient medicine in order to continue to generate well-trained urological young talent in the future. In a modular system, the program includes rotations in the outpatient area and optionally in other specialist disciplines or other clinics with different focuses. Integrated into the training period are 5 module seminars and a series of webinars with regular learning success checks, in which the entire learning content listed in the training regulations is presented in interactive presentations. The clinics and practices participating in the curriculum are regularly evaluated, which should lead to continuous improvement of the training centers in the medium term.
