Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To summarize the advancements and offerings of the American Urological Association's (AUA) Medical Student Education Committee (MSEC). RECENT FINDINGS: The AUA MSEC is focused on advocating for urologic education in medical schools by promoting core principles and practices in urology. The origins of the MSEC go back to 2008. With comprehensive support from the AUA Office of Education, the MSEC continues to refine and expand the resources available for medical students through the AUA Medical Student Curriculum website. The AUA Medical Student Curriculum website offers a repository of resources for medical students. This information is meant to serve as a foundational curriculum for undergraduate medical student education in urology.
