OBJECTIVE: To describe the current demographics, needs, and challenges of women in Urology throughout the United States, including active Urologists as well as urologic trainees. METHODS: An electronic survey was distributed via email and social media sites to all members of the Society of Women in Urology, including residents, fellows, and female urologists practicing in the US and its territories, between February 2022 and May 2022. The survey collected information on demographics, practice type, workplace, personal, family issues, barriers, and career plans from all respondents. RESULTS: Of the estimated 1375 women urologists and trainees based on AUA census data, 379 responses (27.6% response rate) were received. Almost all respondents (98%) are members of the AUA. The average age was 42.9years (SD 18.6). In terms of ethnicity, most self-reported as White 71.0%, followed by 16.4% Asian or Asian American, and 6.3% African American. The majority reported practicing in urban locations (63.5%) at an academic setting (55.7%), followed by similar distribution between private practice and hospital-employed settings (17.0% and 16.7%, respectively). The vast majority, 89.6%, reported working full-time, while only 10.4% worked part-time. The average hours of work per week were 56.7 (SD 14.5). In terms of personal demographics, 81.9% were married, 17.3% were single and 1% did not answer. 68.8% of responders had children, with the majority of these children being born during or after training. CONCLUSION: Based on the findings, although female urologists have increased in numbers, certain ethnicities are under-represented. Additional surveys and engagement of current trainees and practitioners are needed to identify further areas of intervention for specific needs.
