title: [Urological training in the county of Roskilde].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Training in surgical skills and the importance of function-bearing units are the subject of much debate at the moment. An exposition is given of the quality of the urological training in the County of Roskilde, which corresponds to a function-bearing unit as to size.
  
  
  METHODS
  The exposition is based on charts of specific oncological diagnoses during one year and the list of operations performed by phase III interns during a period of six months.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The number of operations performed by phase III interns during the two periods in compared with the informal claims of The Danish Urological Society.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  As regards open surgery, the number of operations performed by phase III interns fully lives up to the informal requirements of the Danish Urological Society and the number of operations per intern exceeds what has previously been calculated at branch-specialized departments. The number of endoscopic operations was a little lower than expected and did not quite live up to the requirements. It is concluded that the urological training at a county urological department meets the requirements of the Danish Urological Society.
