title: [Development and aims of the Academy of German Urologists].
abstract: It is not possible for any actively practicing urologist to maintain an overview of the contents of the many national and international urology journals and the literature relevant to urology. The Academy of German Urologists sees this as its function and has developed special recurrent advanced training modules. The Academy of German Urologists has developed its core activities around disseminating the expanding urological specialist knowledge in an up to date and realistic manner. Advanced and further education events presented by the Academy have now become a standard component of the annual congress of the German Society of Urology. The Academy also regularly runs events outside the annual congress of the German Society of Urology.
