European Society of Residents in Urology - ESRU

The European Society of Residents in Urology (ESRU) was founded in 1991 as the body representing the trainees in urological surgery within the European Union and its associated countries. From the start in 1991 until the beginning of 1996 the name of the organization was European Board of Urologists in Training (EBUT). The ESRU is part of the Young Urologistis Office, together with the Young Academic Urologists and the young non-academic urologists. The ESRU works in close cooperation with the European Board of Urology (EBU) and the European Association of Urology (EAU) in matters concerning the training and education of residents in urology. The objectives of the ESRU foundation are: to support training in urology in Europe to closely collaborate with the EBU, the EAU and other recognised organisations to organize congresses and workshops for urologists in training to maintain a representation in the EBU and in organisations involved in urological training in Europe to support the creation of national associations for urologists in training in Europe. Since 2005 ESRU there is subsection in European Urology Today ÂŽ (EUT), the newsletter form EAU, dedicated to residents: the Resident Corner. The section editor is a member of ESRU.
