Editorial coverage metrics · 17 Oct 2026

These are internal editorial coverage measures, not promotional claims. They are calculated from the published registries at build time.

All institutional identities retain a monogram behind the image as an automatic failure fallback. Structural URL checks are reported separately from live redirect and response-status audits. Explicit role scopes cover the latest individually reviewed additions; older entries retain their existing provenance. Institutional affiliation does not establish fellowship supervision, and dated roles require confirmation of current leadership.

Status definitions

Confirmed open is reserved for an explicit current application statement. Listed — intake not confirmed means an official programme page exists but does not prove applications are open. Eligibility unclear, Not publicly listed, and Confirm with programme preserve uncertainty.

Subspecialty taxonomy audit

The eight canonical subspecialties remain unchanged because they preserve one consistent classification for every record. The registry supports cross-cutting discovery for Female Pelvic Medicine, Neurourology, Transplant Urology, Sexual Medicine, Prosthetic Urology and Minimally Invasive Urology without creating duplicate programme records. Research and observership are treated as pathway filters. Male Infertility has only one explicitly titled record, and no verified travelling-fellowship record exists, so neither is promoted as an empty or SEO-only category.

Registry audit

The registry combines institution-published programmes with Endourological Society, BAUS, SPU, SMRU, SBU, USI, GURS and European training sources. The October global expansion adds 77 source-linked routes across eleven countries, including 31 Brazilian programmes and 22 USI-listed Indian centres and 13 additional US oncology fellowships. Combined subspecialty routes remain single records; expired calls and observational permissions are retained explicitly. The latest France expansion adds paediatric urology, andrology, visiting-urologist training and EUSP host routes alongside the existing Nice, Tenon and Bordeaux profiles. Historical hospital descriptions and certified host listings do not establish an open vacancy, current accreditation renewal, salary or clinical permissions. Observerships, certified training centres and primary specialist-training routes are labelled separately from post-specialist fellowships.

Applicant detail coverage

Each profile tracks 15 applicant fields. A populated placeholder or a request for confirmation does not count as documented detail.

Known information gaps

These gaps are intentional warnings and remain until an official source publishes the relevant information.

Status, portrait and identity policy

“Open” is used only when an official source confirms a current application window. Passed dates remain historical and are excluded from Open now. Official full logos are used only when published by the organisation; otherwise an official-site identity appears over the monogram fallback. Faculty photographs require an auditable source profile, and a sourced identity without one remains labelled “Published identity sourced — public portrait not located.” Inclusion never implies endorsement, accreditation, partnership or affiliation.
