In terms of what fellowships women do, we know pediatrics and female urology are the two most highest percentage of women in each of those specialties. Perhaps not surprising. I mean, we know in pediatric urology, the percentage of women is quite high now, especially compared to the overall urologic population.

And we know women see fewer patients each week, but they spend more time with each patient. And this we think is one of the contributing factors to the gender pay gap. That we talked about from the census a few years ago, we actually published a paper on that. And there are a lot of factors involved in the gender pay gap.

They're seeing fewer patients because
