Editorial
From the Editors Urology Case Reports (UCR) has been continuously publishing quality, highly educational case reports in urology for over 2 years now. As Co-Editors, we thank those of you who have chosen to submit and publish your interesting cases with us. Similarly, we appreciate those of you who visit our website or use your iPad app to read case reports. As of July 2015 we are receiving between 10 and 15 new submissions per month and anticipate getting PubMed status in the very near future. This will mean that your work will be more easily searched and cited in the literature. We continue to hear from practicing urologists, residents, and fellows that the time they actually have available to read journals and medical newspapers and to attend lectures for continuing medical education (CME) credits has continued to diminish at an alarming rate. What we choose to read during this limited time is now ever more important. Our hope is that the UCR format and quick online access via any computer or mobile device will make this important educational component of your career easier. Over the decades that we have spent as Editors of educational journals, books, and newsletters, we have conducted focus groups of practicing urologists to survey exactly what our readers want to satisfy their educational needs during this precious time, and the overwhelming response has been Case Reports. The case report is short, illustrated with images that “speak a thousand words,” has clinical relevance to daily
practice, and sometimes may change your day-to-day clinical management. To this end we pledge to continue to offer Urology Case Reports as a reliable online journal to provide a permanent place for these relevant publications. Please consider this platform for presentation of your next interesting and informative case. With kind regards,
