What it led to was more cooperation. I want to talk to the person who is doing really well. What are they doing that I'm not doing? And can I advocate to do the same?

And I think a supportive institution who notices that stark contrast and actually puts resources towards leveling it, as opposed to putting in solutions later that don't really fix root causes, I think will be successful, even if they notice in the beginning that their women or their urologists or surgeons of color are undercompensated.

So figuring that out and using that transparency to implement solutions can be extremely helpful. Yeah.

Wow. Yeah. There's a lot to say about this one too. I'll give you a little anecdote that has always stuck with me because it was such an egregious way for it to be communicated. I remember match day, we'll never forget it, when I matched into urology, told one of the first male medical school classmates that I'd matched. And he's like, of course I knew you were going to match. You're a woman.

Of course they were going to take you. And that really stuck with me because it sort of felt like it didn't matter if I deserved it or not. Just because of my identity, I was going to be rewarded. And I think that's a perception that is very prevalent today. It goes without saying. There's even a urologist amongst our ranks, a senator in North Carolina who I worked

whose name I will not deem to mention, but he has put forward what's called the Educate Act. And that act is aiming to restore fairness in the process of medical school admissions and medical school teaching, implying that the way in which we recruit a more diverse medical school workforce or medical school class is

will result in people being in those ranks who don't necessarily deserve to be there. And that is really harmful myth because it creates the perception that women who are very deserving are perhaps being promoted in ways where they are undeserving. And that is really false. Women take longer to be promoted oftentimes, even if their productivity and scholarly work is equivalent to that of men.
