Darby Faubion has been a Nurse and Allied Health Educator for over 20 years. She has clinical experience in several specialty areas, including pediatrics, medical-surgical, critical care, and hospice.

"There are many reasons I enjoy urology. The disorders related to this specialty are farther reaching than many people realize. Urinary dysfunction and sexual dysfunction can make a person feel very embarrassed and inadequate. I like the fact that I am able to offer help and resolutions, when possible, to assist these patients in regaining some normalcy in their lives."

Darby Faubion

"Although sexual disorders are the main focus of my practice, urology is great in that there are lots of other ways to help people within the field. Urologists can specialize in treatment of cancers, kidney stones, urinary incontinence, prostate issues, there is a lot of flexibility within the field. On top of that, we get to do both medical and surgical management so we don't get stuck in monotonous routines."

Whatever your reason for becoming a urologist, there are probably things that you like best about the profession and things you would change if you could. This is an opportunity for you to show the interviewer your passion for the career you've chosen.

Darby Faubion

"Urology, in general, offers a lot of opportunities to help people with sensitive problems. that can have crippling effects on quality of life. Most people don't think about how incapacitating urinary control issues or sexual dysfunction can be until they experience it. Being able to help patients who are experiencing these difficulties is why I love being a urologist."

I have the opportunity to see a variety of patients. I also feel especially great after urine retention, torsion, colic, or sepsis cure. I also enjoy treating testis bladder and prostate cancer in the early stages to help my patients beat cancer.

Excellent! Your passion shines through in this answer. Make your reply even more memorable to the interviewer by talking about a specific patient you helped overcome one of the illnesses you mention. You might also add a sentence that reiterates how much you like helping other people be healthy and cancer-free.
