BALTIMORE, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ According to a 2019 statement from the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), 252 counties in the rural United States are without a single health care provider, and a specialty such as urology can only be found in 38 percent of all U.S. counties. With 1/5 of Americans living in a non-urban region and only 11 percent of physicians practicing in those same areas, access to preventive measures and lifesaving treatments is severely limited for millions of U.S. citizens. Further exacerbating the workforce shortage, nearly 54 percent of urology residents have more than $150,000 in student loan debt, and for approximately 27 percent of them, the figure is $250,000 or more.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Throughout the month of February, the American Urological Association (AUA) and Urology Care Foundation join our Nation as we formally celebrate the many contributions of African-Americans to American society and culture. While many people are familiar with such iconic figures as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Harriet Tubman, there are many lesser known Black men and women, including pioneers in medicine and urology, whose achievements should also be recognized.
