Both my mom AND my dad told me that their doctors think they have cancer the week I took the exam (they didnt know that I was about to take the test because I moved it so many times, otherwise they would have waited to tell me).

TLDR: I'm applying to radiology this upcoming cycle but I'm worried that I will miss the OR and patients. This past week I had a ton of fun with robotic/laparoscopic surgeries, and an attending who knows me well told me my personality and surgery preferences point towards ENT or Urology. He...

Which urology away rotations have people enjoyed? Which ones have invited people back for an interview?

A recent episode of the AUA’s podcast Inside Tract (link below) mentions that APPs may be trained to perform cystoscopies, TRUS, prostate biopsies, and even vasectomies. Do you think that the expanded use of APPs in procedures would be a net benefit for urologist’s scope of practice and bottom...
