ForwardDiversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in Urology Series (2022)
The American Urological Association (AUA) is proposing to create a series of educational activities that aim to addressDiversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in Urology. The AUA recognizes that the strength of any community is rooted in diversity and is committed to leading the way in advancing DEI within urology.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in Urologyis comprised of multiple educational formats, including a live (in-person and virtual) course, on-demand webcast and AUAUniversity播客系列。
DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION IN UROLOGY, WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW? ON-DEMAND COURSE AND PODCAST
The course will review the statistics of underrepresented minorities in urology and why Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are necessary for the advancement of urology. We will define racism and educate participants on the different forms of racism. We will identify current tactics to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in urology. We will review the updated recommendations from the Society of Academic Urologists (SAU) diversity taskforce, the American Board of Urology (ABU) diversity taskforce and the American Urological Association (AUA) diversity and inclusion taskforce. We will discuss how participants can address racist policies and practices in the practice of urology. We will provide resources for participants who desire to diversify the urology workforce.
AUAUNIVERSITYPODCAST SERIES
The AUA proposes developing four new episodes for the AUAUniversitypodcast to further address DEI. The AUAUniversitypodcast is designed to address very specific learning opportunities and reach the urologic practitioners in an easy, flexible way with smaller, targeted updates.
To address the educational needs of the urologic care team, we recommend the following four topic-specific podcasts:
- Surgical Implications for LGBTQ Patients
- Cultural Barriers for Ethnic Minorities
- Advancing Equitable Opportunities for Recruitment of Diverse Patients to Clinical Trials
- Financial Toxicity as Drugs Move Earlier into Treatment Paradigm and How This Relates to Disparities in Treatment Patterns

AUAUNIVERSITYPODCAST SERIES
Surgical Implications for LGBTQ Patients
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Identify two specific surgical side effects that may be of interest to a patient who undergoes a prostatectomy (e.g. ED treatment efficacy for anal penetration, climacturia, anejaculation).
- 问一些可能会影响他们感兴趣的副作用的性行为相关的问题(与男性、女性以及两者合作，肛交和肛交)。
Cultural Barriers for Ethnic Minorities
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Identify two specific forms of medical mistrust that can be addressed by clinicians (e.g. belief in doctors as drug pushers incentivized by pharmaceutical companies and belief that placebos are often given to minority patients on clinical trials).
- Identify common modifiable barriers that impact ethnic minorities (e.g. social support through support groups or patient advocates or home care services or insurance enrollment through critical treatment periods or language).
Advancing Equitable Opportunities for Recruitment of Diverse Patients to Clinical Trials
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Develop recruitment strategies for equitable recruitment of diverse patients to clinic trials to expand access to clinical trial enrollment for patients who are traditionally underrepresented in clinical trials.
- Discuss pragmatic trial designs that may subvert some of these traditional barriers to enrolling patients to clinical trials.
Financial Toxicity as Drugs Move Earlier into Treatment Paradigm and How This Relates to Disparities in Treatment Patterns
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Define the magnitude of financial toxicity/economic implications across GU malignancies currently.
- Forecast the potential changes/increases in financial burden associated with moving systemic therapies earlier in treatment paradigms for patients with GU malignancies.
