Prostate Cancer Impact Alliance Presents Black History Month Webinar

Learn more here; register for the first panel here and the second here.

Please join the AUA, Urology Care Foundation, and the Prostate Cancer Impact Alliance for a webinar on the importance of increasing the number of Black and African-American urologists. The Impact of Diversity in Urology: How Black Urologists Shape Patient Outcomes webinar will be held on February 23 from 2–4 p.m. ET, encompassing two hour-long panels. Both panels will be recorded and available for later viewing.

In the first panel, Black physicians from R. Frank Jones Urologic Society, Oregon Health and Science University, and SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University will discuss their journeys in their urologic careers, how culturally competent care shapes patient outcomes, and why Black voices are vitally needed in urology. The goal of the webinar is to introduce Black medical students to the meaningful path they could take if they were to choose a career in urology, and how their presence as Black physicians can make a difference in the lives of their patients.

In the second panel, Black patients will present their experiences with the medical system and ways that it can be improved and made more inclusive. The panel will touch on access to care and screenings, community-based outreach, care coordination, and other pressing issues experienced in patient care.
