The teaching of urology at the General Medicine faculty of a medical higher school aims to prepare future general practitioners so that they can make a preliminary diagnosis of the main urological diseases on their own, determine the tactics for further management of the urological patient, and make a differential diagnosis. A general practitioner should know what to do in case of emergency urological situations namely renal colic, acute urinary retention, anuria, etc., and be able to provide first aid to such patients.

The teaching of urology is based on the knowledge acquired by students earlier in theoretical and clinical departments. Information on the anatomy and physiology of the kidneys, urinary tract, and male genital organs are summarized and evaluated from clinical standpoints. From a new perspective, therapeutic kidney diseases and their consequences are evaluated.

For students, the study of anomalies of the genitourinary system is of great importance, since their early recognition and timely treatment are crucial for the prognosis.
