Abstract:
Objective To explore the research hotspots and developmental trends in urological education through a bibliometric analysis. Methods Relevant literature on urological education was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases, covering all records up to Sep.16, 2025.A comprehensive bibliometric analysis was performed on the retrieved publications. Results A total of 303 Chinese and 290 English articles were collected.The annual number of publications demonstrated an overall upward trend.Harvard University in the United States was the most productive institution in this field. Conclusion Urological clinical education has attracted increasing attention from clinicians and medical trainees.Highly cited studies consistently highlight three actionable priorities for urological education:firstly, improving long-term knowledge retention through structured, spaced, and feedback-rich learning designs; secondly, standardizing simulation-based skills training with validated assessment and staged credentialing; thirdly, strengthening training system resilience while expanding non-technical skills training.These directions provide implementable pathways for optimizing urological teaching practices and the standardized residency training programs.
