A Framework for Addressing Health Disparities in Adult Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction-Systematic Review and Neurogenic Bladder Research Group Recommendations.

The systematic review and workshop recommendations by the Neurogenic Bladder Research Group offer a comprehensive framework for evaluating health disparities in adult neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). The study acknowledges the multifaceted nature of health, highlighting that medical care, though critical, is not the sole determinant of health outcomes. Social determinants of health significantly influence the disparities seen in NLUTD.

Someone Like Me: An Examination of the Importance of Race-Concordant Mentorship in Urology.

Objective: To describe differences in urology mentorship exposure for medical students across race/ethnicity and to explore how much potential mentees valued the importance of race-concordant mentorship.

Methods: All medical students at UCLA received a cross-sectional survey. Dependent variables were perceived quality of mentorship in urology and association between race-concordant mentorship and perceived importance of race-concordant mentorship.

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Medical Student Timing and Perceived Quality of Exposure to Urology.

Objective: To contextualize the low representation of Under-Represented in Medicine (URiM) in urology, we examine differences in timing and perceived quality of urology clinical and research exposures for medical students across race/ethnicity.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was distributed to all medical students at University of California, Los Angeles. Dependent variables were timing of urology exposure and perceived quality of urology exposure.
