Mission Statement

​

The Urology Boot Camp program aims to improve patient safety, patient care, education, and research through innovations in immersive and simulation-based learning techniques and tools by embedding them within Europe aimed at 1st-year urology residents. Furthermore, the goal is to promote interprofessional simulation education with a special focus on non-technical skills and training activities for learners and faculty to augment proficiency and strengthen collective practice across the continuum of care. The Urology Boot Camp is the first step of ESU's Standardization of Surgical Education (SiSE) Program.
