My son’s Jones Beach IRONMAN was canceled this morning, so I built something I’ve wanted for a while: one place for daily urology news, events & podcasts.
Introducing UrologyWatch.com.
Tell me what works, what doesn’t, and whether it’s worth maintaining.
🤖 Made with AI
New @_backtableUro podcast: AI's Role in Enhancing Urology Care with @CanesDavid via @UrologyWatchHQ
Listening to how Dave processes the world is always incredibly insightful!

We need thoughtful, forward-thinking surgeons like @wandering_gu at the ASCO leadership table, bringing the surgical perspective to how we advance multidisciplinary cancer care.
Todd Morgan is an exceptional surgeon and researcher, and someone I have tremendous respect for.
Voting is now open asco.org/about-asco/asco-ove…

Last day of sub internships here at the Urologic Institute! This year we welcomed 29 students from national and international programs.
Best of luck to all our students and all getting interview offers today!
Can’t wait to meet the next generation of urologists!

UrologyWatch.com keeps an eye on urology. Two, actually! Come say hi.

Two of the resources physicians reach for most have lived in separate tabs. That's about to change.
We've partnered with @WoltersKluwer to bring @UpToDate's expert-reviewed content into Doximity Ask.
This is big. Like!

@UpToDate + Doximity = one search, more behind every answer.
AI Fast & Physicians First. Excited!

Turns out there are some very hard core statistical issues here because of induced correlations between event times. see pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1635…
I have questions regarding this Partial Nephrectomy for 2-4cm mass study that claims a 3+ month delay is dangerous (going against all AS literature in this space).
Since this is SEER and not SEER-Medicare, aren't we just looking at a subset of patients who were first biopsied and then resected, since those who went directly to surgery would effectively have a zero-day delay interval? Did something change since I last did a SEER paper?

Fantastic trip to @UCSD_Urology as Visiting Professor!
What a fabulous department under the superb leadership of Chair Manoj Monga (@endourologyucsd) and Physician Group CEO @cjkane10!
As always, meeting and getting to know the phenomenal residents is the real treat. No major trauma during beach volleyball = W!
Thanks to everyone for such a warm welcome, and special thanks to @AdityaBagrodia for being the man!

Last endourology match: 73 positions, 19 unfilled, and 26 applicants who ranked programs did not match. Fit matters.
