At a Urology conference in Hawaii. My 3 year old daughter just saw two men walk into the meeting room and said “mommy - boys just walked in there. Boys can be doctors too??” 👏👏👏 #WomenInMedicine #ILookLikeASurgeon

- Well, it happened…I had to use a stethoscope. Mid-flight emergency on an international flight and I was the only physician. It has been about a decade since I last used one and I did confirm a heart beat, so I’d call that a win.
- Most of the time my 5 year old tells me she hates my job because I can’t pick her up at 3pm like the other moms. Today at pre-k grad she announced she wants to be a kidney doctor when she grows up ❤️ with a pretty accurate pic! My dad was just happy she didn’t say a penis doc…
- Replying to @DrJewelKling @JuliaFiles and 4 othersWOW 😮 😮 😮. I think that calls for a free upgrade to 1st class and a swift apology!
- I’m Program Director for our Endourology Fellowship. It would be awesome if in 2023 letters of recommendation weren’t addressed to “Dear Sir” #WomenInMedicine #womeninurology
- I just found my intern year ID card. I look so young and optimistic. If anyone in medicine knows how to get that back, PLEASE let me know. *written during my Saturday 7:00am meeting*
- It’s official! So excited to be promoted to Associate Professor @MayoUrology. Many thanks to my mentors/supporters @endourologyucsd @MayoMitch and the women who encouraged me to go for it @JuliaFiles @DrNatStrand.
- When I went into Urology this was something I could only dream of! ALL FEMALE Urology weekend call team @durant_adri @V_S_Edmonds @MayoUrology Arizona. Evidence would say our patients are in the very best hands! jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas….
- I started as staff @MayoUrology the exact same day these guys started intern year. They grew as residents as I grew as a teacher. What an honor to get the Novicki Education Award from this group of outstanding trainees and now Urologists. Their patients are in great hands!
