Applying effective teaching and learning techniques to nephrology education
The interest in nephrology as a career has declined over the last several years. Some of the reasons cited for this decline include the complexity of the specialty, poor mentoring and inadequate teaching of nephrology from medical school through residency. The purpose of this article is to introduce the reader to advances in the science of adult learning, illustrate best teaching practices in medical education that can be extrapolated to nephrology and introduce the basic teaching methods that can be used on the wards, in clinics and in the classroom.

Urology in Undergraduate Medical Education
The objective of this article is to review the current state of exposure to urology in medical school, to discuss why it is critical to maintain a urology curriculum, and to review methods in establishing an effective curriculum for all students with limited resources.Recent FindingsUME curriculum in urology should be geared toward the widest group of students, namely those entering primary care or internal medicine, where patients with urologic complaints are most likely to first present. Hands-on teaching should focus on skills such as the genitourinary exam and Foley catheter placement, while ancillary modules should be...

Nephrology Education and Continuing Education in Resource-Limited Settings
Summary: Nephrology training programs in high-income countries have transitioned from an apprenticeship model to a well-structured, resource-driven model that supports continual professional development. In contrast, in low- and middle-income countries, medical training and in particular nephrology training has lagged behind owing to resource limitations. Some of the challenges to adequately provide training to health care professionals in low- and middle-income countries include shortage of teaching faculty, difficulty in developing curricula to meet regional needs, and a lack of resources to provide competency-based medical education.

Nephrology education for medical students: a narrative review.
CONCLUSIONS: Rigor was lacking in most empirical studies on medical student education in nephrology. Well-designed randomized controlled studies are needed to accurately assess the effectiveness of the educational techniques introduced into medical school curricula.

An intervention design: supporting skills development for peritoneal dialysis trainers.
CONCLUSION: The need for the development of a comprehensive and standardized curriculum for PD nurse trainers and their patients was confirmed. This paper outlines the process of the development of this curriculum. Pilot testing of the modules was launched in late 2017 to examine feasibility, and planning has commenced for a RCT in 2019 to investigate the effect of the modules on clinical outcomes, and their wider application across Australia and New Zealand.

Simulationâbased training for prostate surgery
ConclusionsA wide range of different simulators are available for prostate surgery including synthetic bench models, virtualâreality platforms, animal models, human cadavers, distributed simulation and advanced training programmes and modules. The currently validated simulators may be used by healthcare organisations to provide supplementary training sessions for trainee surgeons. Further research should be conducted to validate simulated environments, determine which simulators have greater efficacy than others, assess the cost effectiveness of the simulators and the transferability of skills learnt. However, with surge...

Online CKD Education for Medical Students, Residents, and Fellows: Training in a New Era
CKD and its complications are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Studies have highlighted significant deficiencies in resident knowledge and awareness of CKD and its complications. There is a need to improve CKD education through medical school and residency. There is also a need to provide alternatives to traditional teaching methods to meet the challenges of learning in the context of work-hour restrictions and increasing workload among residents and fellows. Internet-based learning resources offer various educational tools, including websites, kidney blogs, online modules, and smartphone applications, ...

'I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.'- incorporating high-fidelity medical simulation into the undergraduate nephrology course.
CONCLUSION: Medical simulation is a valuable constituent of the nephrology course. Putting greater emphasis on practical aspects from the beginning of training may enable students to benefit more from simulation modules.

Development of a 3D-printed testicular cancer model for testicular examination education.
CONCLUSIONS: 3D-printed models can effectively simulate palpation of both healthy and pathological testes. The developed models have the potential to be a useful adjunct in teaching testicular examination and in demonstrating abnormal findings that require further investigation.

Purpose of review
The purpose of this review is to highlight developments and opportunities in the nephrology curriculum from the basic science foundation years through teaching medical students, residents and fellows in the clinical realm.
Recent findings
Teaching skills are a vital tool for nephrologists both to promote excellent patient care and attract talented learners to the field. Exposure to dynamic and inspiring nephrologists is one of the main factors given by students and residents for selecting a career in nephrology. Nephrology teaching, including case discussions, problem-based learning, team-based...

Hands-on teaching for students in urology : The use of peer teaching and simulators.
DISCUSSION: Peer teaching and simulators are reasonable tools in medical education in urology. They increase individual coaching of students and lead to improved satisfaction and subjective learning success. Interprofessional education with the selective use of nursing staff as teachers was widely accepted. With these tools essential hands-on skills in urology can be acquired by all medical students.
