Swiss Society of Urology (SGU SSU) - Swiss Urology

The Society is the professional organization of those physicians who have completed the training prescribed by the Federal Government or an equivalent training recognized by the FOPH and thus hold the title of Specialist in Urology. The SGU supervises this further education and examines it by means of the specialist examination. Furthermore, the SHE checks the training of all urology specialists throughout their professional life. The SGU also issues guidelines for the investigation, treatment and follow-up of urological diseases. She also gives recommendations for educating patients about urological surgeries.

The Swiss urologists are only active in public hospitals or as attending physicians at private hospitals in the part-time work. Affiliated physicians usually conduct a practice outside the hospital.
