Happy Mother’s Day to a super mom and super doctor!

Excited to launch this trial WashU Urology/Siteman Cancer Center in the coming weeks to offer another option for our high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. The expanding portfolio of options for bladder salvage and preservation is great news for patients.

Pretty packed day at #AUA24 watching my fellows present, having mentee lunch and hearing the latest as they all start the job search, hearing bladder cancer updates IBCG program, and then attending Nesbitt reception with Michigan Urology and then Vanderbilt Urology Uro Onc…

Congratulations to the South Central Section of the AUA residents bowl team and WashU Urology PGY4 Dr. McCormick for 1st place in the Amer. Urol. Assn. Residents Bowl.

More WashU Urology residents and fellows present their work at #AUA24 , including PGY3 Kendrick Campbell who won Best Video and PGY4 Connor McCormick who is competing in the Residents Bowl with the South Central Section of the AUA team.

Loved Jack Andrews plenary presentation at #AUA24 on modern utilization of PSMA imaging strategy in BCR after local treatment for prostate cancer. Earlier detection and treatment must lead to prolongation of first metastatic lesion, disability, and death to add value.

I love this approach to large meetings like #AUA24 and I also think leaving some uncommitted time in between the must-do items allows for spontaneous networking, catching-up with peers, and further enjoyment (and some exercise to feel well).

Enjoying the celestial show between cases with H Henry Lai and Lauren Elson WashU Urology

Always a great discussion with world-expert Rachel S. Rubin, MD who gave updates in female sexual medicine at the 2024 Missouri/Kansas Urologic Meeting. Many germane topics for both benign urologists and oncologists alike.

Incoming UrologyMSK Oncology Fellow and current WashU Urology Chief Resident Nick Pickersgill, MD giving an update to the MO/KS Urologic meeting on the new Amer. Urol. Assn. guideline on UTUC.

Memorable WashU Urology Chief Journal Club tonight. We enjoyed dinner & 4 articles:
-How will you measure your life?(Christensen, Harvard Business Review )
-Simone’s Maxims
-Managing Oneself (Drucker, HBR)
-A Tale of 4 Physicians (@PhysicianOnFIRE ). Evocative discussion with 4 fine surgeons!

My heart is full after a trip to DC for Society of Urologic Oncology #SUO23 complete with great camaraderie and scientific updates + Benjamin J. Davies MD’s birthday party, a great day of interviewing applicants for WashU Urology residency, and annual holiday party for the hospital where my wife and I both work.

Our residents and fellows advancing prostate cancer science through great mentorship by Eric Kim, MD.

Cool display outside the room where our WashU Urology residents and fellows took the Amer. Urol. Assn. ISE and Society of Urologic Oncology OKAT today. Learned a lot about the scientific contributions of Washington University in St. Louis faculty over the last 100+ years.

Apply and learn about our high-volume program.
