title: Residency training: where do we go from here.
abstract: Residency training in urologic surgery should change to an educational experience driven by outcomes instead of process. The needs analysis for curriculum modification has been completed and defines the competencies (enduring skills) of the complete physician. The challenge now rests with organizational leaders of urology to design programs that ensure the acquisition of these characteristics and conserve time and economic resources.
