“…The low number of female scholars in andrology is one potential reason for the low representation of women. In 2019, the proportion of female doctors in urology was 9.9%, 19 which is increasing year by year, and the growth rate of female doctors in urology is the fastest among all specialties 21 . However, the representation of women in urology journals left much to be desired.…”

Background Surveys of gender diversity in editorial boards of journals have been conducted in several disciplines, but not in andrology. Objectives The present study was designed to investigate the gender distribution of editorial boards of andrology journals. Methods A total of eight andrology journals were included in the study, and the gender information and geographical location of editors were identified based on the information obtained from the Internet. Results A total of 382 editors’ gender information was confirmed. Women made up 1 of the 9 editors‐in‐chief (11.1%), 13 of the 68 deputy/associate editors (19.1%), 37 of the 270 editorial/advisory board members (13.7%) and 0 of the 35 other types of editors (0%). There was no significant difference in the journal impact factor between male and female editors‐in‐chief (3.060 ± 1.274 vs 3.842), and no significant association was found between impact factor and the proportion of female editor (Spearman's r = −0.204, P = 0.629). Discussion and conclusion Andrology‐related journals lacked adequate gender diversity, not all journals reserved reasonable editorial positions for women. Besides, increased impact factor did not bring additional gender bias. Women should be given more reasonable seats to improve gender diversity in andrology‐related journals.

“…The proportion of urologists projected to be nearing retirement in nonmetropolitan areas (17%) is almost twice that of those in metropolitan areas (9%). 30 Nam et al 31 32 This workforce shortage contributes to the delay in access to care and diagnosis. 33 This disparity in access to cystoscopic diagnosis potentially has downstream consequences, particularly for patients who have high-risk urothelial cancer of the bladder or muscle-invasive urothelial cancer.…”

Urothelial cancer care is particularly susceptible to geographical health disparity given its complex nature, requiring access to several specialists such as a urologist, a medical oncologist, a radiation oncologist, a surgical oncologist, and multidisciplinary care teams. Furthermore, other barriers to care access in underserved areas include travel burden, longer wait times, late-stage disease at the time of diagnosis, cost, type of treatment, less enrollment in clinical trials, lack of follow-up among cancer survivors, and less research funding in this area. Here, we discuss the impact of geographical location on access to urothelial cancer care, management decisions, and outcomes and we reflect on how to address geographical disparities in care delivery.

“…Urology has historically been a male dominated field, with the most recent specialty census data from 2021 finding only 10.9% of practicing urologists are female (1). Despite this, there is encouraging data to suggest the gender gap is closing, with a 17-fold increase in the number of female urology residents since 1978: women filled just 1.9% of urology residency spots in 1978 (2) while 2021 urology residency statistics have females representing 33.7% of matched urology residents (3). Further projection models suggest the number of female urologists will continue to steadily increase over the next 40 years (4).…”

PurposeGender inequities in medicine exist. Urology is a male dominated surgical specialty, with recent census data showing females represent only 10.9% of the workforce. We aimed to characterize the composition of female pediatric urologists across the Societies for Pediatric Urology (SPU) pediatric urology fellowship accredited programs, with particular attention to academic promotion and leadership positions.MethodsIn January 2023, we reviewed the official websites of the 27 pediatric urology programs listed on the SPU website as fellowship accredited programs. We identified pediatric urology surgery attendings, their gender, academic title, and if they were named a director of an internal program or had a hospital leadership position. We identified the program chief and fellow/resident program director. This data was associated with years in practice.ResultsFemales represented 27.4% of pediatric urology surgical attendings. Four programs (14.8%) had no female attendings. Female staff were in practice a median shorter time than that of males (6 vs. 16 years, p<0.0001). A significantly higher proportion of females were assistant professors (62.2 vs. 35.2%; p=0.0041) while a significantly higher proportion of men were professors (37.0 vs. 18.9%; p=0.0421). Only one program (3.7%) had a female department/division chief. There was no difference between genders regarding being named a director of a program and/or having an identified hospital position of leadership. Female professors had been in practice a significantly shorter time than male professors (p=0.0003); women with an internal or hospital leadership position had also been in practice a significantly shorter time than males (p<0.001).ConclusionsFemales are represented more in SPU pediatric urology fellowship accredited programs than the overall urology workforce. Fewer female attendings are professors compared to male attendings; however, differences in promotion could be impacted by female attendings being earlier in their career. Hopefully with time, we will see more equal representation amongst genders in pediatric urology programs overall, but especially where we are training the next generation.
