A lot of geriatric patients have urological pathologies and the increasing population of those age > 65 means a growing patient pool for urology. Since the supply of future urologists has not been proportionally increased through expanding residency spots ( expanded enough) this suggests that the compensation for urologists will likely continue to increase over the next 5-10 years.
True. The need for urologists has expanded dramatically, and the amount that hospitals are willing to pay for coverage has followed suit over the past few years
Urology uses separate match (as did plastics and ENT in the past) such that it was early, and you would still be able to scramble into a different specialty if you didn’t match. The general surgery prelim years were virtually always built in at the same institution and were not a factor in this- you would either be given the 1-2 years automatically or would apply via nrmp for the first 1-2 years after the urology match to the surgery program of the urology institution you matched
We're releasing a video soon on the Med School Insiders channel that explains each of the IM subspecialties. A video on the bread and butter of all specialties is a great idea too. Thanks!
Hello Again! I am interested in becoming a physician that works on air ambulances in the United States. I'm having a hard time finding information about what steps I should be taking to get to that point as it seems it's a fairly niche career. It would be absolutely incredible if you could make a video about pre-hospital air care or something along those lines!
Unlike Cardiology which has come up with many impressive innovations, I feel the field of urology has been stagnant for a long time. The drugs for BPH are decades old, plenty of undesirable side effects and mediocre efficacy at best. Then you have a lot of new in office procedures to replace the decades old Turp, but all these with steam, green light, heat, staples, water vapor have mixed results and often need repeating and each is deemed the best by the doctor who was trained on that procedure and not necessarily on its efficacy. Finally you have the PSA whose diagnostic value seems to be contradicted by each subsequent research paper. I wish a true gold standard and new generation of drugs were developed.
Disagree 100%. Many of the office based innovations have been a game changer, including some of the bph treatments you’ve mentioned. Many of the tests we do (urocuff, pne) in the office also use some newer technology. In the hospital, urologists are the first docs to push most advancements, such as robotics and now aquablation PSA is very controversial, but is the one tumor marker we have in all of oncology that can actually be used for screening, particularly when using some newer modalities such as MRI fusion biopsies and 4K scores
I think about urology every day. Half the people on this planet don't. It's Literally why I'm single. Been a virgin all my life, and I'll probably stay one:-/
I don't speak from a point of view as a doctor but as a patient of Urology for many years now. First of all I don't appreciate what you call " dick jokes " as it seems to me to be very debased and unprofessional. Leave those jokes for the people of the street. Urology deals with medical problems " below the belt ". Treat it with respect and sensitivity. One thing that is seriously lacking in your field is a lack of sensitivity for a patients modesty concerns. About 75 to 85 % of urology patients are men, yet most of the medical assistants working for these urologists are young women or girls. In the large urology clinic that I used to attend we had six urology doctors. We didn't even have i male worker in the place. I inquired in other urology centers, same thing. For the past ten years or more I have had many urology issues: enlarged prostate, prostate cancer, urinary problems and a host of other issues. I have been used in Urology schools as a "guinea pig " for cancer research in front of many medical students naked under high sedation. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING HUMILIATED !!! Patient modesty doesn't seem to be a major concern for many of these urologists. I have avoided the Urology clinic for the past 2 years and I have serious urological problems at present. It may seem stupid on my part but the pain of bodily exposure is worst. Whether you as Urologists realize it or not many men avoid these doctors because of patient modesty. I'm sure it's affecting your income !!

Hey doc, can you do a video on “bread and butter” of every specialty, based on your own experience or some other resources.
Keep up the good work!
Great idea! That may be a good fit for the Med School Insiders channel. Thanks for watching!

Is that a new watch? Looks like an Omega Speedmaster - love it!
Yes! 3861 hesalite!
Is there any resource where you can find bread and butter of each specialty (particularly IM/peds subspecialties)?
We're releasing a video soon on the Med School Insiders channel that explains each of the IM subspecialties. A video on the bread and butter of all specialties is a great idea too. Thanks!
Why I didn't Psychiatry, please! I wanna hear you roast my personal favorite specialty 😄
the best thing is that most cases are pretty happy
prostate cancer is really minor compared to other types of cancer

Is it just me or can other people almost never find the link in the description?
Sorry we’re gonna fix that shortly!
Inaccurate competitiveness of urology, as it’s not an NRMP matched specialty, and most factors are hidden by the aua
My urologist cured my aching Wilbur and now I love her long time.
Can you do Pediatrics please?!
I honestly think 100% of all people on this earth need to see a urologist, besides other specialties:-/
Can you do a transplant surgeon one?
Pediatrics next please 🙏
Why is there a constant discord notification sound throughout the video?

Surgeons tend to be psychopathic in particular ortho and neuro
Urology isn’t all 🍆. We’re very heavy on kidneys
I think about urology every day. Half the people on this planet don't. It's Literally why I'm single.
Been a virgin all my life, and I'll probably stay one:-/
