see what else is happening in the national landscape, how other programs do things better or worse, what they can learn from other trainees, and to build some of these relationships very early on.

Well, wouldn't it be nice to have known a great in urology as a co-resident or a co-medical student? Totally different flavor. So I think it's a tremendous space for fostering those kinds of relationships.

You know, I think the key, for me at least, has been, as I was trying to figure out my own mid-career piece, was the direction that you want your career to grow in. And you don't realize how many possible directions there are until I think you get into your mid-career phase because you are so focused in your early career phase on building your practice,

If you're at an academic center, perhaps building your academic credentials, or if you're in private practice, maybe building your referral base. But once you hit that mid-career stride, then you start to look for something beyond just clinical medicine. And some of it is all about, you know, what gives you purpose. But even...

Whether you wish to stay in academia or wish to stay in the private practice setting, there are many ways to help your career grow. For me, what was most helpful was conversations with other women who were doing lots of different things in urology. You know, maybe they were chairs, but chairs.

Maybe they were CMOs, or maybe they were really intentional about their service roles in organizations like the AUA or other subspecialty societies. And there are pros and cons to all of that. You cannot possibly do it all, so you have to pick and choose. But it gives you a flavor of offering, so to speak. And I think Simone made a really good point about allyship.

The network that I have created within SWU has also extended to people outside of SWU, including the men in urology. And I have found that I've built relationships with people I would otherwise, again, never have crossed paths with, whether we taught a course together or were nominated to be on some committee together or participated in some kind of like joint AUA level course. think together.
