title: Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education competency-based on-line computer course in pediatric oncology for urology residents.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To develop an on-line course in pediatric urology for our urology residents, to expose residents to required pediatric urology content within the confines of an 80-hour work week.
  
  
  METHODS
  An on-line, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education competency-based course in pediatric urology was designed using a commercially based platform.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The computer-based teaching course was flexible and provided virtually limitless opportunities for course design, structure, and content.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Computer-based teaching platforms may be a useful alternative teaching method to facilitate urology resident education within the confines of an 80-hour work week.
