Based on the questionnaires answered by 60 of the 140 schools surveyed, it is apparent that the teaching of andrology receives little emphasis in the schools' curricula. The lack of support given to the teaching of andrology is more evident at the postgraduate than at the undergraduate level. Although andrology is relatively new as an independent biochemical specialty, it is suggested that increased availability of information on andrology to students and physicians would have a positive impact on the quality of health care.
