#AUASummit25
Had an incredible day advocating on Capitol Hill with Team North Carolina, to push for policies that put patients first. Grateful to my program for supporting me in this important work—because advocacy is just as vital as the care we provide in the clinic and OR! #AUASummit25
Few takeaways from Day 1 of #AUASummit25:
1️⃣ Drug shortages harm patient outcomes.
2️⃣ Urology burnout is rising—worse in women urologists.
3️⃣ Medicare physician payment reform is overdue; it fails to account for inflation.
4️⃣ Prior authorization hurts patients the most.
If you didn’t match this time, and want to be a urologist - don’t give up. This is a detour not a dead end 🫶
Formulate a plan: research year vs prelim
Remember : Healing takes time, allow yourself to process.
Lots of urologists have hit this bump- you are not alone 🤗
I went to vote and one of the people at registration said “where are you from, that name isn’t from around here?” I replied no I’m not, grabbed my ballot and used my time and energy where it counts.
Shoutout to my chief @md_overholt for making sure I was able to vote today!!
And that’s a wrap on AUA Fundamentals 2024- what a great weekend spending time with our future leaders of Urology! Thank you to @RoboUroMD@aghazimd , faculty @AmerUrological staff, and @CleClinicUro department staff who made this event great! #handsonUrology
Thankful for my program’s support to attend the the Fundamentals in Urology course learning urology skills, spending time with old and new friends, and a weekend in Cleveland. #handsonurology
You’re looking at a 3/3 fellowship matched chief class enjoying some celebrity popsicles! So proud of my best friends @Refugia_UroMD for his SUO match at @DukeUrology and @uro_ABCohen for his Endo match @CleClinicUro !!!
Week one of one of intern year ✅
I started residency on trauma nights, a humbling experience. I learned so much but still have so much to learn. Now to rest my body for a bit and jump into week 2.
Sunday scaries hit different when tomorrow is the first day of intern year. Super excited to start this journey with my wonderful coresidents that I’ve spent my first year doing research with.
Still recovering from my first #AUA ever! Highlights include 2 presentations, spending time around the Riverwalk with my coresidents and networking with new and old friends. #AUA24
