Urology residents are encouraged to learn ultrasound (U/S) imaging, yet there are few tools available for teaching and assessing a resident`s competence. The aim of this study was to test the new SonoSim LiveScan ® and to propose a competency-based assessment model for the urology graduate medical education.
