Cheers to Jennifer Regala who worked tirelessly behind to scenes to make scholarly publishing a welcoming place for ALL urologists.

Her work has helped promote NUMEROUS women in the field. SWIU recognizes her efforts and appreciates her sparkly pink vibes 😍

12 yrs ago I donated half of my liver to my dad who had NASH. He'd give anything for me, it was the least I could do for him.

1 yr later he officiated my wedding
5 yr later he had 4 grandchildren
Today he's still enjoying every 'bonus day'

Beaming with joy, pride, and admiration as Simpa Salami is awarded the Amer. Urol. Assn. Gold Cystoscope. He is an absolutely incredible physician, surgeon, scientist, and friend, and seeing him get this amazing recognition is something I’ll never forget.

We celebrated the upcoming opening of the new North Carolina Surgical Hospital on April 19.

The hospital is the single largest addition to the Chapel Hill campus since it was built in 1952.

We will begin treating patients in July! 🙂

Kudos to Office of Faculty Affairs & Leadership Development #LTAM leadership class + showcase of transformational projects!

Kicked off by lessons from UNC School of Medicine Dean Wesley Burks
👉be open to opportunities
👉consider intro/extroversion w/ team interaction

Grateful to #AUA24 for providing space to reunite w/ friends, old and new, elevating the next generation (I see you Avani Desai Samuel Tate III!) & reminding me why urology is full of the best people I know!

See y’all in Vegas #AUA25 when we do it all again!

My heart is full as we wind down #AUA24 and I must thank ALL those involved with making this another great annual meeting. I look forward to the coming year as Amer. Urol. Assn. President, as we strive to make urology a better place for all UW Urology

Settling back home??

Here's the last #wellness tips for #AU24 re: recovery

As you catch up w family, clinical work, email, etc. prioritize in this order

sleep > nutrition > exercise

Excellent review of #AUA24 Amer. Urol. Assn. SUFU #OAB #Guidelines as explained by Anne P Cameron Michigan Urology. These are new guidelines (see QR code), including evaluation/therapies for both women and men. Move from step-wise therapy towards #shareddecisionmaking .

Emotion regulation is not about controlling what you feel. It's about choosing how you respond.

Wise people don't suppress emotion. They find constructive ways to express it.

Intense feelings don't always demand immediate reactions. They often benefit from deep reflection.

Great meeting with friends and mentees! Gabriela Gonzalez, MD, MPH Angie Smith

Great presentation by star Urology@UNC resident Hannah Kay, MD at #AUA2024

Last but not least SWIU Jean Fourcroy Leadership Award recipient Dr. Carol Bennett UCLA Urology remarks on our shared potential 🏆🌟💯
