Dr. Igel offers advice to urology residents and fellows seeking leadership roles

In 2021, small urology programs had 28.1% spots filled by applicants at their home program, compared with 16.2% between 2016 and 2020.

On this podcast, Bristol Whiles, MD, discusses her urology residency experience at the Kansas University School of Medicine Department of Urology.

"The most important thing I feel I've learned in my life so far is the value of human interaction and human connection," says Mark S. Litwin, MD, MPH.

For the essay contest, urology residents and fellows were asked to predict the future of the specialty from their point of view.

A recent study published in Urology described how American Urological Association–accredited urological residency training programs are organized in terms of clinical exposure and teaching of their residents.

"Now is the time for programs to leverage their existing telehealth platforms and practices for trainee education while continuing to serve patients," the authors write.
