The best part of #aua2023 was meeting new people. I was fortunate to meet TWO urologists from Turkey 🇹🇷 @Selcuk__Erdem (pictured) and Dr. Ali Riza Kural. They were incredibly kind and I hope to visit them in Istanbul later this year. @Uroturk @AmerUrological

Honored to named best poster in the health services research session at #AUA23. Our data highlights the importance of culturally sensitive approaches when counseling patients regarding CaP management and life expectancy. 🙏 to @TimDaskivich for great mentorship on this project.
