What is your plan for staying on top of trends, research, and news in the field as a new urology resident?

"I knew two years ago that my dream was to pursue urology residency training at a reputable institution like yours, so I immediately became a member of the AUA. I've loved diving into the latest research and clinical information in The Journal of Urology. I'm looking forward to attending the AUA conference every year to begin networking within the field, learning from the brightest stars, and hopefully presenting on my own one day. Can you talk about the annual attendance at the event from your program?"

First, talk about a couple of the resources you used to stay on top of medical industry trends as a medical student. Then highlight that you are aware of the larger urology groups and societies like the AUA. You might also ask the interviewers if they have any recommendations for you. This can start a conversation that will be helpful to you! Make sure to reiterate that you will join the AUA, read their publications and participate in their annual meeting as a resident.
