One of its main goals has been to ensure the training of students as future adequately qualified general practitioners (GPs). Tools need to be developed to evaluate and improve the teaching of Urology at the undergraduate level. Our objective is to identify the knowledge and skills needed in Urology for the real clinical practice of GPs. Methods: An anonymous self-administered survey was carried out among GPs of Primary Care and Emergencies which sought to evaluate urological knowledge and necessary urological skills. The results of the survey were exported and descriptive statistics were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 19.0. Results and limitations: A total of 127 answers were obtained, in which ‘Urological infections’, ‘Renal colic’, ‘PSA levels and screening for prostate cancer’, ‘Benign prostatic hyperplasia’, ‘Hematuria’, ‘Scrotal pain’, ‘Prostate cancer diagnosis’, ‘Bladder cancer diagnosis’, ‘Urinary incontinence’, and ‘Erectile dysfunction’ were rated as Very high or High formative requirements (>75%). Regarding urological skills, ‘Abdominal examination’, ‘Interpretation of urinalysis’, ‘Digital rectal examination’, ‘Genital examination’, and ‘Transurethral catheterization’ were assessed as needing Very high or High training in more than 80% of the surveys. The relevance of urological pathology in clinical practice was viewed as Very high or High in more than 80% of the responses. Conclusions: This study has shown helpful results to establish a differentiated prioritization of urological knowledge and skills in Primary Care and Emergencies. Efforts should be aimed at optimizing the teaching in Urology within the Degree of Medicine which consistently ensures patients’ proper care by future GPs. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E46-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2020-116873GB-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 4.614 2021 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 45 / 183 = 0.246 2021 Q1 T1 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 71 / 210 = 0.338 2021 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 100 / 279 = 0.358 2021 Q2 T2 0.814 2021 Pollution 2021 Q1 Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis 2021 Q1 4.5 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Redondo-Redondo, Cristina Universidad de Zaragoza Orna-Montesinos, Concepción Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-8305-5821 Esteban, Luis Mariano (orcid)0000-0002-3007-302X Denizón-Arranz, Sophia Tejero-Sánchez, Arlanza García-Ruiz, Ramiro Sanchez-Zalabardo, José Manuel (orcid)0000-0002-2328-9236 Gracia-Romero, Jesús (orcid)0000-0002-8502-9499 Monreal-Híjar, Antonio Gil-Sanz, María Jesús Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0586-8138 Sanz, Gerardo Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-6474-2252 Sanz-Pozo, Mónica Romero-Fernández, Francisco (orcid)0000-0002-4530-4601 2007 265 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
