title: Jim Peters--sportsman, soldier, surgeon.
abstract: Jim Peters, a country boy who excelled academically and in the sporting arena was a Victorian urological pioneer. His passion for teaching and belief in the development of Australasian urology resulted in the establishment of two of Melbourne's earliest Urology Units (which are now major academic University departments), the creation of a formal urological training program and the promotion of Australian urology within the International urological community.
