PEREZ ALBACETE, Mariano  e  ROMERO FERNANDEZ, Francisco. The teaching of Dr. Romero Aguirre. Arch. Esp. Urol. [online]. 2007, vol.60, n.8, pp.949-957. ISSN 0004-0614.

Objectives: After the death of Professor Francisco Romero Aguirre (Zaragoza 6/7/1918-6/28/2006) we want to make known his great teaching vocation, so that we covered his link with University from the start of his studies to his professorship as first professor in urology in the Spanish University (1961), and his work at the chairmanship of the Professional Postgraduate School of Urology in the University of Zaragoza. Methods: We reviewed his biography, his edited works and publications of the Urology Chair at the University of Zaragoza, and obtained as many references as we found about his teaching activity. Results: From the start of his academic training he kept a constant union with University and cooperated in all disciplines he had relation with before he got the responsibility of teaching urology. His university spirit and great formation had the chairman of surgical pathology see the convenience of separating urology from the common trunk of surgery, a proposal that, being accepted by the staff meeting of the Faculty of Medicine of Zaragoza and submitted to the Ministry resulted in the designation of urology as an independent subject in the degree of medicine. His labour as responsible was marked by work and continuous achievements in his classes, many publications, doctorate and urological monographic courses carried out, thesis and memories directed, all of which enabled him to create to the Professional Urological Specialization School, the culmination of more than 40 years dedicated to teaching in the university. Conclusions: We find Prof. Romero’s life completely dedicated to University and teaching. His wide urological and propedeutical formation made him a person who joined the necessary conditions and abilities to take the responsibility and carry out a satisfactory performance as responsible of teaching urology in the school of medicine of Zaragoza, a subject which thanks to his virtue and good performance was for the first time elevated to the level of independent subject.
