Hi, urologists. I'm going to start med school this fall, and I'm not sure yet about what specialty I want to go into. I was talking with a friend of a friend the other day who had urological issues. She said she wanted to see a female urologist, but she had a hard time finding one and ultimately couldn't. She also said it was hard for her, since the procedure was so intimate and painful, and she would have been much more comfortable with a woman.
I had not thought too much about urology before, because I want to work with women when I practice. (Not necessarily exclusively, but definitely a large chunk of patients I see.) But after hearing her story, I started to think that it could be a great way to contribute to women's health care.
My question is -- once you're out of residency, is it possible to work mainly with female patients, or at least have a significant population of female patients?
Thanks in advance for helping me out!
