Dr. Matthew Nielsen

As the chair of the Science Equality Council, I am involved and supportive of this, but I think the credit for this work and the really detailed behind-the-scenes work that has made this such a valuable thing really is due to Dr. North and others who've been more focused in that data committee space.

It's a really sort of fascinating insight, and I think it's helpful for all of us to sort of see beyond what we're used to in our day-to-day routine, both for folks in academic practice and in community practice, to get a glimpse of what practice is like broader across the nation.

So about nearly 90% are in the bucket defined as actively practicing, which in the survey responses is practicing at least 25 hours a week. That recognizes that many people who are maintaining an active practice are in that category, but this is the way that the answer is coded there.

The urologists are distributed across the country in uneven ways geographically in terms of the urologist to population ratio with New York, Dr. North's home state, having 5.7 urologists per 100,000 population, and North Dakota having 2.75 urologists per 100,000 population. So Looking at the absolute populations of those states, the numbers are even more dramatic and profound.

Right. And that, you know, that points back to information that, you know, we've seen from other data sources that the majority of U.S. counties do not have a urologist. So the distribution problem that we have in the specialty is something that these data highlight.

A lot of the workforce is getting into the later part of their career with the largest age group in the census being over 65, almost 30 percent of the urology workforce is There's also been some interesting changes over time in terms of as we have become a more diverse field, the number of women in the over 65 age group is relatively small.

But we're excited about the fraction of women in the younger cohort of the age group where we have about 25 percent among respondents less than 45 years old.

Thank you very much.
