This week on the Backtable Podcast. 85% of women in urology say that they have some sort of burnout. I mean, it's really bad, but only 17% are seeking professional help. And one of the things, again, this goes back to our advocacy efforts, is to understand the impact of state licensing requirements.
43%.
So we're working on a paper. We're looking at the data now. It's in the beginning stages to look at which states ask these types of questions on their licensing renewals. And if that specifically has an impact on whether or not people said that they were afraid for their state licenses, because every state is different and not all states ask those types of questions.
Hello and welcome once again to Backtable Urology Podcast, your educational resource for all things urological and then some. As a reminder, Backtable Urology offers many informative episodes that you can find on iTunes, Spotify, And of course, on backtable.com. I'm your host today, Dr. Suzette Sutherland, and I'm super excited to have two guests today to talk to us about the 2023 AUA census data. We have Dr. Amanda North and Dr. Matthew Nielsen. This is vital data about our urological community, about our urological workforce, and our practice patterns that really help us to inform our future directions for policy efforts and overall urological care as well. So again, super excited to be talking about some of the pertinent things that came out of the AUA census data with all of you here today.
So before we get started, I'm going to do a formal introduction, of course, of our two guests. They are very well known in the broader urological community already, but I'll go ahead and do the formal introduction nonetheless. First, we have Dr. Amanda North. She is chair of the AUA Data Committee, so the committee that really was quite responsible for all of the data here, collecting it with the AUA census, putting it together, and then looking at what does it really mean. She's associate professor of pediatric urology, so that's her specialty, and she's division chief now at Children's Hospital at Montfiori in the Bronx, New York. So welcome, Dr. Amanda North. Thank you so much for having us. Our next guest is Dr. Matthew Nielsen. He's chair of the AUA Science and Quality Council, so also was quite involved in the data and what does it mean for us. He's professor of urology and may know chair of urology at University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, and his specialty is urologic oncology. Hello, Dr. Nielsen.
Thanks for being with us.
Thank you, Dr. Salomon. It's really terrific to be with you today.
So let's just dive in, shall we? We're going to talk, first of all, about the data itself, how it's collected, how it's acquired, and who it really represents. When we look overall, we do see some of the data that's in there that it really had a response rate of about 13.5%, I think, if that number is correct. of our urological workforce that answered the surveys and whether you think that that's really an accurate representation, I mean, of who we are and how we use that information then to make some decisions in the future. So I'll just throw that out to both of you or maybe starting with Dr. Nielsen. And with that also describing what were your roles in this process and your committees and how many other committees and if there are influential people that should be mentioned who should be given, you know, accolades for their work they did for all of this data?
Yeah, great. Thank you so much, Dr. Sutherland. So this work is, as you mentioned, housed primarily in the AUA's data committee. And AUA has a wide variety of committees covering the waterfront of the issues in our education and research mission, as well as public policy, advocacy, and all the areas touching urologic patient care and education. Within the Science and Quality Council, we try to coordinate the activities across the Guidelines Committee, the Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Committee, and the Data Committee. And the census is one of the crown jewels of the Science and Quality Council and a really big effort of the Data Committee.
