Taking things slowly and making sure that things are done right from the beginning is a very important thing, developing good habits. So that's exactly how we do it. And every practice can be unique, but we felt that figuring out how to compliantly document things while you're in parallel, also learning the topics of urology was really important and they kind of went hand in hand.

And that's how we set up our onboarding is when a new APP comes, they'll shadow first and they'll start documenting, kind of act as a scribe within the practice and then start seeing patients like when you were a resident, when you would go see the patient and go outside, talk to your attending, kind of figure out a plan together and then both go back in and then slowly developing an independent schedule.

But at the end of the day, we want all of our advanced practice providers on an independent schedule. And I think Making sure that they have that confidence and that autonomy really brings a lot in terms of satisfaction from their job.

Sure. I think a lot of urology practices are in a very similar situation as we were pre-COVID and really entering into COVID, where there's just been a tremendous shortage of urology providers and an ever-growing patient population. So we were noticing that in our community, And in our surrounding areas that patients were having to wait weeks, months to see a provider.

And we felt that we weren't serving our community correctly. And so the only way to kind of catch up and provide the needs of the patients in our community was to increase our providers. And with such a shortage of urologists, we knew we needed to utilize and harness the power of advanced practice providers to help us take care of our patients. We were also having other issues in terms of burnout.

We were also having other issues in terms of burnout.

Urologists have a highest degree of burnout compared to any other specialty, according to some studies. And we felt that advanced practice providers could help our physicians stop them from burning out. And when we looked at our patient population even more closely, we were noticing that several, there was high rates of attrition.

And, you know, we're going to talk a little bit about BPH and how we manage our patients, but we looked at our attrition rates for BPH and it was 60 to 70% of patients at that time. And it's much better now. We're not coming for a second visit. And so we felt that there was, you know, just, we just needed all the help we could get.
