[Regulations from the German Federal Medical Chamber for specialization in urology: legal and occupational aspects].

The new regulations of the German Federal Medical Chamber for the specialization in urology have been published in November 2018 and can now be transferred into official regulations by the different Medical Chambers of the German Länder. The new concept consists of different subjects which are each subdivided into different levels of competence. Required numbers for procedures have been kept to a minimum as the emphasis is on everyday procedures of outpatient urology. The scope of urology is well represented and all subspecialities have been incorporated with their basic contents. Higher qualifications in certain subspecialities are available.
