I greatly enjoyed 30ish mins of interviewing my good friend and peer Dr. @BogdanaSchmidt of @UtahUrology to share information about pursuing a career in urologic oncology. I’m happy to meet with any resident at #SUO22 to talk @UroOnc fellowship, including ours @WashU_Uro . DM me.

@dipenjparekh was our VP for the 5th Annual Joseph A. Smith Lecture @VUMCurology . I don’t think I’ve ever learned so much about organizational leadership in such a short period of time from such a humble and genuine person. Thank you to @miami_urology for lending him for a day!

Both Gary Paulsen and my late grandfather made me love the backcountry and the wild places. One led me there in the pages of his books and one took me to the few remaining lonesome corners of the Ozarks. Rest in peace.

@md_eun with an outstanding talk this morning on building your practice as you transition out of training @AmerUrological Residents and Fellows Forum at #AUA22 . One key: know exactly how and why your patient ended up in front of you and reinforce positive referral patterns.

Hipster lumberjack or men’s health advocate with a life-saving ‘stache? You be the judge. While you ponder, donate to our @VUMCurology Movember donation team. @UroCancerMD says I owe an extra year of training for every $100 we fall short of our goal.
