Congrats to Deb Jur on her retirement and many thanks to Felicia Goraj on her years of excellent service. I could not have asked for a better pair of NPs completely dedicated to patient care. I am so grateful to have had you both on my journey and wish you the very best!

Just ran into in-person resident interviews happening for another specialty. to be honest it’s really a shame that urology isn’t back in person. I feel like zoom limits your feel for one of the biggest life choices to be made for aspiring docs.. I conceptually understand the equity and cost savings theories behind digital but non monetary costs are priceless to some. as someone now on the other side of interview I think we need to take the limiter off and extend choice to programs and applicants alike. Props to family medicine for leading the way back to in person, it was great to see y’all @bswhealth and I hope to see @UroResidency @Uro_Res @UroAcademic applicants roaming our halls again soon. – at Temple, TX
Agree. The online interview process disfavors mid-size programs located outside major metro areas and disfavors more introverted applicants who tend to open up and come across better in person. Urology applicants are being denied the freedom to choose in-person interviews.
Agree. 100%. Mid-sized programs not in huge metropolitan areas suffer with virtual only. Applicants are less willing to take a “chance” on an unknown city they have never seen. Bravo for speaking up and yes, the cost is real but in the long run it’s small compared to salary.
