I have heard from several trusted sources that a candidate for a recent The Royal College exam subsequently tested positive for Covid-19, and as a result several other candidates from the same exam room are now in mandatory isolation. 1/

Beyond dismayed to learn residents writing their The Royal College exam were *not* required to wear masks at their desks. Mid-pandemic. In a hotspot. I hope the affected individual recovers well. I hope no others get sick. 1/

What an amazing time at #AUASummit22 meeting so many inspiring urologists, and advocating for telehealth, physician workforce planning, diversity in clinical trials. Grateful to Northeastern Section for sponsoring these two Canadians! Amer. Urol. Assn. McMaster Urology

Starting #AUA2023 by hearing ⭐️McMaster Urology R3 Raees Cassim discuss the Canadian experience treating cT2 RCC via partial nephrectomy. Take-always: better renal function, higher perioperative and local recurrence risk.

Started my quest with Philipp Dahm to improve the quality of systematic reviews in urology when I was a Med student! Here’s to many more years of brainstorming on how to engage authors & editors to increase our confidence in the evidence #AUA23



Huge thanks to #AUA23 for supporting on site daycare this year. Amazing care and attention for our little ones = peace of mind. Lisa Bower


Dr. Guo refreshing our immunology knowledge in his transplant talk at the Canadian Urological Association Senior Urology Residents course. Always exciting to see old Chiefs step into their role as faculty ☺️ McMaster Urology


Patchwork of guideline methodology used by Canadian Urological Association clinical practice guidelines since 2018; would expect use of uniform approach to improve uptake, trust and also save resources for example by collaboration with Amer. Urol. Assn. Rod Breau Maylynn Ding


Loved catching up with my mentors and evidence-based medicine powerhouses Dr. Dahm and Dr. Violette in Montreal! Thank you Canadian Urological Association for hosting such a fun night and the Void for a FANTASTIC set 🎸💃 see you at our next meeting Philipp Dahm


Inconsistency between what Canadian Urological Association guidelines report using to assess strength of recommendations and what’s actually used. There is room for improvement Funding for a GRADE expert would help decrease burden on urologists in guideline development!


So incredibly excited to join Stanford Urology for this next chapter in my training to become an endourologist!! ☺️ Grateful to all my family, friends, and mentors at McMaster Urology for getting me here. Adventure and kidney stones await!
