Show Notes
The gender gap in urology is one of the most staggering in all of medicine: only 8% of practicing urologists are women. On top of this, a 2017 study in the journal Urology showed that women are also disproportionately underrepresented in both educational and administrative leadership positions within urology–only 3% of department chairs, 8% of residency directors, and 9% of fellowship directors are women.
Listen in to this episode to hear Dr. Akanksha Mehta’s thoughts on gender disparities within urology, as well as her path to becoming a urologist and her take on balancing motherhood and medicine.
