[Development and future position of the Academy of German Urologists].

In order to do justice to the complex requirements of vocational training in urology, last year the Academy made great progress in further development. During the 65(th) annual congress of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Urologie (DGU, German Society of Urology) a multitude of Academy forums and Academy expert courses were offered again by the working groups. The Academy now provides four academy sections. After foundation of the junior academy and the team academy, the additional groups of patient academy and knowledge academy were also created.
