Mashup Score: 0GLOBAL STATE OF UROLOGY Urology Training in the UK: My Experience With the Global Residents Leadership Retreat - American Urological Association - 1 month(s) ago
Having recently completed the urology training program in England, this article has provided an opportunity for me to reflect on the positives and negatives of my training program. The application for urology training in the UK is centralized through a process called national selection, which occurs once a year. It is a 5-year higher surgical training program, requiring the demonstration of basic or core surgical competencies along with membership exams from one of the 4 Royal Colleges prior to application. In 2022, this program accepted 59 candidates in the UK, with a competition ratio of 1:4. Research, audit, and quality improvement are encouraged both at the time of application and throughout the training program.

Mashup Score: 4WHERE ARE THEY NOW? AUA Data Grant Recipients: Leveraging Big Data to Drive New Discoveries - American Urological Association - 1 month(s) ago
In 2018, I was a recipient of an AUA Data Grant, under the mentorship of Dr Jeremy B. Myers, for a project entitled “Long-term Complications from Treatments of Prostate Cancer: An Analysis of the Utah Population Database.” This award enabled our team to leverage big data to inform patients and providers regarding the long-term implications of treatments for localized prostate cancer. Importantly, I learned the advantages and limitations of retrospective, population-based studies. This caliber of scientific inquiry would not be possible during urology residency without the support of this award. Additionally, this solidified my desire to focus on prostate cancer survivorship care clinically.

Mashup Score: 1Why I Wrote “What You Should Know About Your Boy Parts” and Why All Boys and Their Parents Should Read It - American Urological Association - 2 month(s) ago
Why not bypass the whole medical establishment and forgo guideline updates or expensive educational campaigns targeting primary care and emergency room providers? Why not go directly to the boys and their parents, who can benefit from critical health information? Even better, why not provide it in an entertaining package that kids will like? Indeed, why not just write a humorous book about what you should know about your boy parts? Perhaps the way to go would be 3 rhyming and illustrated stories for boys 5 to 12 years old with accompanying question-and-answer sections for parents.
