Introduction: Since World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 as a global pandemic, urology services have developed strategies to prioritize and not to differ urgent and oncological patient's medical attention, in order to optimize resources and decrease infection probability among staff and patients. This unprecedented situation has generated a decrease in assistance and academic activities in most medical residences. The aim of this manuscript is to evaluate the impact of this health crisis on training programs through a survey addressed to urology medical residents.

Introduction: The recently developed technological advances in urology are a challenge, both for the urologists responsible for training activities, as well as for residents. This has led to heterogeneous residency programs; in terms of training and access to these technologies, among the scientific societies of the countries that make up the American Confederation of Urology (CAU, by its Spanish initials). The aim of this study was to collect relevant information and to perform a situational analysis to promote the development of more homogeneous programs for the training of future professionals in urology.

Introduction: Social media (SoMe) is widely used by urologists for multiple professional activities, including conference participation and research dissemination. Despite its many potential benefits, SoMe has potential drawbacks. Our goal was to perform an international comparative study of the perceived benefits and pitfalls associated with SoMe use among urologists.

Introduction: The increasing role of social media (SoMe) amongst urologists has been well documented over the last few years. While previous studies have reported on harassment of urologists by patients and other physicians, this is the first study to report that almost one-fifth of all urologists have been harassed by other physicians on SoMe.

Introduction: In the last fifteen years, there have been important technological advances in telehealth systems and urology, along with other specialties, has been a pioneer in the successful use of this medical care modality. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of telemedicine has been rapidly embraced by the urology community around the world. A review of the most relevant and updated articles on telemedicine and telehealth in urology has been carried out with the aim of better understanding how it has been implemented to date, as well as reviewing concepts, current regulations, health policies and recommendations for its implementation.

Introduction: La pandemia del coronavirus (COVID-19), tipificada como tal en marzo de 2020 por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), ha superado la capacidad de los sistemas de salud para ayudar a las víctimas y ha desencadenado un cambio radical en la investigación médica y en el seguimiento de los registros para ensayos clínicos en campos urológicos de todo el mundo.
