So we have women that are are entering urology residency.

And so we will continue to see that number go up as it should.

Yeah.

We obviously need better representation, not only gender, but race and ethnicity and background.

We need more black and Latino representation.

a urologist, um, is, uh, and so somebody like me as a black woman in urology is a unicorn.

Um, like really about 1% of the urology workforce.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean,

The reality is there are disparities when it comes to marginalized communities in almost every subspecialty that you can think of.

And urology is certainly not spared.

One of the most common disparities is Black men are two times likely to die.

get diagnosed with prostate cancer to die of prostate cancer and unfortunately black men are the least likely to get screened for prostate cancer so why do you think that is the least likely to get screened and why do you think they're not getting screened oh Caitlin that's a whole nother podcast baby that's a whole nother episode that's part two yeah yeah because I'm like wow yeah I mean it's

partly lack of access oh my goodness I mean again you live you guys are near Detroit so you can understand like you go to a part of the city that is primarily black like the acts like grocery stores a clinic uh access to specialties is very different from like the like more well-to-do quote-unquote uh predominantly white which is so wrong like how are we still here

Yes.

Yes.

Chicago is the same way.

When I moved to Chicago, I was like, whoa, it is so different if you're on the south or west side of the city versus if you're on the north side.

Like you have everything you could want on the north side and on the south side.
