health knowledge for women then you know it's a race that we're already starting from behind so that's why it becomes you know an incredibly important issue and then the other thing i wanted to mention when you made that point was you know how women are diagnosed with certain diseases or or maybe the persistence of symptoms without a diagnosis lasting longer for women

One very important one in urology is bladder cancer, where women present often at a later stage and having suffered from symptoms related to the disease for longer because it gets misdiagnosed and confused for other things like lower urinary tract symptoms or even urinary tract infections. So we don't have to go far into Alzheimer's research or the Women's Health Initiative necessarily.

You know, we look just at our own disease experiences within urology and we can already see those gaps. And there are plenty more. We would need to record several podcasts to go into each one in depth, but they are there.

Absolutely. So the first thing I want to say to the audience is give two very important plugs where credit is due. Firstly, with regards to the four common gender and equity myths, there is a really fantastic editorial written in 2022 by one of our own urologists, Dr. Raina Malik, I'll put the PMID. It's 35277290. And she wrote this editorial with a general surgeon.

And they looked at and debunked with data and facts. the four common gender equity myths. And so that I thought that that was a really brilliant way to bring forth these myths in a really, you know, just easy to understand way. You can't imagine how many times I have been asked to speak on gender equity and have people ask me Is there really an inequity? I just don't understand.

Or I don't see it because we pay all of our women doctors the same as we pay men. Or we have the same compensation model for everyone. So why would there be an inequity? Everyone has the same model. within which they can make their salary. And so the first piece of debunking is giving credit. This slide deck and these formats that I have often talked about actually have been published.

There's data surrounding it. They did an excellent job of that. And I think that that is an excellent article for any program director, chair, department head to read, especially if they are aiming to retain or recruit more women into their department. So just wanted to make that plug. And then secondly, when we talk about the knowledge gap that exists for women's health, women's
