We appreciate your feedback on our report and your insight into the importance of
diversity in medicine. We agree that numerous barriers diminish the chance of applicants
from backgrounds underrepresented in medicine (URiM) successfully matching into a
urology residency position. To address these limitations, such as lack of close connection
with a physician and lack of mentorship, Urology Unbound, through our pipeline program,
the R Frank Jones Urology Interest Group (RFJUIG), is expanding opportunities for
these students. This academic year, we established an official peer mentorship program
consisting of ‘family’ units comprised of volunteer urology attendings, residents,
and medical students. The goal was to develop a longitudinal, bi-directional mentorship
system, to nurture URiM urologists from the first date of interest through residency
and beyond.
