title: [Predictable access to the fellowship of urology in France till 2016: an update of the AFUF].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the predictable accessibility to the fellowship of urology for residents expecting to accomplish their residentship from November 2013 to November 2016.
  
  
  METHODS
  Between September and November 2013, the representants of the residents ongoing for the residentship of urology in each region of France were reached to participate to the study. A questionnaire was given in aim at reporting all the local residents expecting to accomplish their residentship between November 2013 and 2016, and the number and the expected availability of fellow and specialist assistant posts in the region during the same period.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In November 2013, our study listed 334 junior urologists (197 residents, 81 fellows, 56 assistants). Fifty-five residents were ending their internship by November 2013, whereas 67, 50, 77 residents were expecting to accomplish their residentship from November 2014 to 2016 respectively. The predictable accessibility to the fellowship of urology was 96.4%, 82.1%, 90.0%, 74.0% respectively for the residents accomplishing their residentship from November 2013 to November 2016. The predictable deficit of fellow and assistant posts were -2, -12, -5, -20 posts from November 2013 to November 2016 respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The predictable number of fellow and assistant post in Urology remains insufficiently available for the 2013-2016 period. By reason of the unstable number of residents accomplishing their residentship from 2014 to 2016, the fellowship accessibility was measured at 82.1%, 90.0%, 74.0% from 2014 to 2016 respectively.
