At a Urology conference in Hawaii. My 3 year old daughter just saw two men walk into the meeting room and said “mommy - boys just walked in there. Boys can be doctors too??” 👏👏👏 #WomenInMedicine #ILookLikeASurgeon

- Well, it happened…I had to use a stethoscope. Mid-flight emergency on an international flight and I was the only physician. It has been about a decade since I last used one and I did confirm a heart beat, so I’d call that a win.
- Most of the time my 5 year old tells me she hates my job because I can’t pick her up at 3pm like the other moms. Today at pre-k grad she announced she wants to be a kidney doctor when she grows up ❤️ with a pretty accurate pic! My dad was just happy she didn’t say a penis doc…
- Replying to @DrJewelKling @JuliaFiles and 4 othersWOW 😮 😮 😮. I think that calls for a free upgrade to 1st class and a swift apology!
- I’m Program Director for our Endourology Fellowship. It would be awesome if in 2023 letters of recommendation weren’t addressed to “Dear Sir” #WomenInMedicine #womeninurology
- I just found my intern year ID card. I look so young and optimistic. If anyone in medicine knows how to get that back, PLEASE let me know. *written during my Saturday 7:00am meeting*
- It’s official! So excited to be promoted to Associate Professor @MayoUrology. Many thanks to my mentors/supporters @endourologyucsd @MayoMitch and the women who encouraged me to go for it @JuliaFiles @DrNatStrand.
- When I went into Urology this was something I could only dream of! ALL FEMALE Urology weekend call team @durant_adri @V_S_Edmonds @MayoUrology Arizona. Evidence would say our patients are in the very best hands! jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas….
- I started as staff @MayoUrology the exact same day these guys started intern year. They grew as residents as I grew as a teacher. What an honor to get the Novicki Education Award from this group of outstanding trainees and now Urologists. Their patients are in great hands!
- Props to the @Endo_Society for having this close to the main #WCET22 rooms. I’m past needing this (thank goodness!), but have spent hours of my life walking to the far corners of conferences to pump. This is how we support and encourage female participation in academic medicine!
- Approximately half of urologists experience career burnout. We looked at what personality traits make a urologist more likely to experience burnout. @MayoUrology authors.elsevier.com/a/1etPlKZx3YK3-
- Every female urology trainee & anyone who helps train women urologists should hear this talk. Thank you, Dr. Miller, for your honesty. And THANK YOU to #DUST23 for having programming like this. @peepeeDoctor @willrobe1 @VUMCurology
- Have you ever noticed that your endourology colleagues seem to have more female children? Mayo Clinic researchers are conducting a study to find out if this is true. If you’re a practicing urologist, please consider taking our quick survey. redcap2.mayo.edu/redcap/surveys…
