Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

And I perceive that an element of it is that to the extent that a urologist coming out of training has a particular interest in a certain subspecialty area, and many are going to communities that already have a relative abundance of urologists, that to be able to have that practice, it is challenging in a lot of communities for a person to have that subspecialty practice element without the fellowship.

Whereas the distribution of urologists is such that those who go into practice in a smaller community may be more inclined to do a little bit of everything just by nature of how it works. And I think it's a good question that, to my knowledge, we haven't really gotten into in the census. But these conversations always lead us to things that might be important questions for us to ask.

Yeah, I think that the information that we get at in the census asks the respondent what their primary area of practice is, and then also questions about are these subspecialty areas part of your practice. And so for the answer to the primary area of practice, 12% identify, 12.3% identify oncology, 6.7% identify pediatrics. and 5.1% identify endourology and stones.

But at the same time, as many of us know, one of the things that draws people to the field is the diversity and the opportunity to cover all these areas. So nearly two-thirds, 65% of respondents, have oncology and endourology and stones as part of their practice, and over half, 56%, have ED. Yeah. As part of their practice.

Well, yeah, we don't know the answer for that. You didn't ask that. We didn't ask that specifically.

Well, I think, to your point, there's a lot of research on practice patterns and a lot of health services research in the field. But there are many questions that people are just sort of curious about to have a sense of what is the sort of prevailing norm in the specialty that we really can't get at from other data sources.
