In a study published in Urology, Alex J. Xu, MD, and colleagues surveyed urology faculty and residents nationwide to assess practice patterns, attitudes, and knowledge base surrounding the care of LGBTQ patients. The results show that while most urologists recognize LGBTQ patients may require tailored care, many still lack consistent practices, such as routinely asking about sexual orientation, that would help close this gap. The study's findings were also featured in Urology Times and UroToday, underscoring its relevance to the broader field. Dr. Xu's research marks an important step toward a more informed, inclusive urology workforce.
