This week on the Backtable Podcast. 85% of women in urology say that they have some sort of burnout. I mean, it's really bad, but only 17% are seeking professional help. And one of the things, again, this goes back to our advocacy efforts, is to understand the impact of state licensing requirements.

So we're working on a paper. We're looking at the data now. It's in the beginning stages to look at which states ask these types of questions on their licensing renewals. And if that specifically has an impact on whether or not people said that they were afraid for their state licenses, because every state is different and not all states ask those types of questions.

Wonderful. Thank you, Dr. Nielsen. And thank you, Dr. Sutherland. So the census was originally the brainchild of Raymond Fang, who was the now retired head of statistical services at the AUA. And he brought the idea back in 2014 of doing a survey of all practicing urologists. And over time, the census has really grown. Originally, it was just looking at practicing urologists.

But now there are actually multiple censuses that get published every year. So the one that we're talking about is the 2023 Census of Practicing Urologists. But we actually publish... a census divided by AUA section. We publish a census with residents and fellows. We publish a census on advanced practice providers and also a census looking at international urologists.

So the census isn't just one thing. It's multiple publications and they are all available for free on the AUA website if you're an AUA member. So I'll just put a little plug there for that. And, you know, there's been a host of publications that have come out of these 10 years worth of census data. Going back to your question about 13.5% response rate and is that really representative?

This is a question that comes up a lot when we publish papers using census data. And my counterargument to that is, are there any other surveys that have 2,000 urologists responding every year? And while 2,000 urologists may only represent 13.5% of our practicing urology community, it is a huge number of doctors who are responding to the census. every year.

When the census data is published, it is weighted to represent all practicing urologists. And I, as a disclaimer, I am not a statistician, but we have people who are experts into statistical services who create the data that you see on the website, and it has been weighted to represent all practicing urologists.
