See this among urology applicants as well. Seems like every year the ‘recommended’ # of pubs to apply increases. Hoping the shift for future application cycles moves to quality > quantity 💡
2/5 - dilutes value of meaningful research, which invariably, requires TIME, thoughtfulness AND the right mentorship 🕰️ 💭 - favors students with MD parents, high SES, early exposure (literally have seen HS students tacked on as authors 🤦🏽♂️)
And just like that…..it’s over. Excited to join the @UABUrology team in a few short weeks. Thank you @IrasemaPaster for making our week+1 apprenticeship so enjoyable. Gonna miss you and all the @UAUrology team.
Last case at UA ever for the 🐐 @jfunkmd. HoLEP of course. You will be deeply missed by everyone at @UAUrology! Thank you for everything.

As we await results from #urologymatch2025 , we want to wish everyone a happy match day! . We can’t wait to meet our new interns to join our funny and awesome resident team 😃#urosome #uromatch2025
First time in the history of our residency program that our busiest service was run entirely by women 🎀 @UAUrology @AvaADelu @rpalanjian
Once again, my annual retweet before II release day. Don’t be discouraged by what the morning initially brings. It’s going to be a long day full of joy, sadness, and surprises. At the end of the day, just remember that you’re going to be an amazing doctor! #UroMatch #UroRes
On the eve of uro II notifications, I want to wish good luck to all the applicants. I also want to share this picture. These were the first six emails sent to me. 1 II and 5 waitlists, followed by many more waitlists/rejections. Can you guess where I ended up? #UroMatch #UroRes
Come learn about our awesome program tomorrow!! 🌵
Urology Residency Virtual Open House, Sept 11, 2024, 5pm MST. University of Arizona College of Medicine. Come check out the Program and meet faculty & residents! @CTwissMD @BenLeeUrology @jfunkmd @JChipMD @JonSea3 @johnfitz112
Just to reiterate - CISGENDER WOMEN ALSO HAVE TESTOSTERONE.
Women with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) have no advantage because their body is not sensitive to androgens. An average XX female has actually quite a bit of testosterone & would have a performance advantage over an XY female with complete AIS. hope that helps
It is nuanced but I believe it has a right answer. For safety someone with AIS, which gives you XY chromosomes, denser bones, and more muscle it’s a problem. It’s not that deep past that. If she has complete AIS she may even have male parts still inside her. It’s just safety.…
Congratulations to @UKYMedicine medical student Lee Kiefer for repeating her gold medal performance in foil fencing in Paris @Olympics!!
Visited my mom for coffee after weekend rounds. This is her new baby. Perks of living near family 🥰
WOOHOO! We matched with Jonathan Seaman, MD, who will be coming to join our GURS fellowship! Welcome, Dr. Seaman! 🎉🎉
It’s happening!! 🥰 @UAUrology Yes, those are my fur babies.
In honor of Pride, here are some animals and some of the sexualities they express in the wild!
The decision made by the Arizona Supreme Court today is unconscionable and an affront to freedom.
¡Felicidades Von! 👏🏽 First of many to come #adelante
Just published my first review paper as first author! Grateful for the opportunity to lead this project and collaborate with an amazing team. Big thanks to my mentors @JChipMD @IrasemaPaster and all team members for their support! @SOMUAG #Research #Urosome
Hard to believe it’s been 15 years straight of pursuing medicine (since starting undergrad in 2009). Countless times I thought it’d be easier to quit. First in my family in any healthcare field! I’m going to be an anesthesiologist!!! 🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭 #Match2024
