This week, I’m honored to share a guest Field Notes essay from Dr. Unwanaobong Nseyo, whose friendship and sisterhood have been with me for almost a decade now. Some lessons are easier to carry when someone carries them with you. yahirsantiagolastramd.com/fi…

Excited to officially announce my next chapter working with @YSL_MD @CFerrandoMD @LindseyABurnett! @UCSD_Urology @urogynsociety @sufuorg

Thank you to all the mentors/organizers who spared some time to provide us with this thoughtful webinar!

I know everyone is very busy. But it is simply normal to do zero work up while waiting for the specialist? It can be a minute to get into see me. Use a fucking AI to help you and order some basic shit in the mean time. Fuck. If I’m sending to cards for instance and I think it could be heart failure I make sure they have an echo to look at. I don’t know what is being trained into anyone any longer. It all could be better.

.@YSL_MD, @UCSD_Urology, provides a clear framework for recognizing and managing pelvic organ prolapse in clinical practice. #WomensHealth #Functional #Urology

When you throw your all into a process, that process becomes an expression of your very essence. Musicians, coaches, teachers, physicians, entrepreneurs, writers, parents, and of course athletes all know this to be true. It's an incredible feeling. bradstulberg.substack.com/ex…

Very grateful to have received a scholarship to attend this conference @NM_Urology. Looking forward to learning from @SocietyGURS experts as I progress in my residency training & ponder fellowship - especially while I'm starting to get more involved in robotic surgery as a PGY3!

So spot on. Enjoy this piece. It’ll validate all we go through

The Department of Urology is proud to announce the promotion of Dr. Yahir Santiago-Lastra to Full Clinical Professor of Urology and Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences at UC San Diego Health. Congratulations @ysl_UroMD on this well-deserved achievement!

There are parts of academic medicine and surgical life that rarely make it into formal teaching. I created Field Notes to write about that hidden curriculum and share with you! yahirsantiagolastramd.com/fi…

Excited for the @sexmedresearch team to share our most recent research in female sexual dysfunction this weekend at the @SMSNA_ORG #SMSNA25 Annual Fall Scientific Meeting in Grapevine, Texas. Hope to connect and learn about all the new innovations in sex med!

As a urologist, I value seeing our colleagues in health policy. But Dr. Christine’s views on abortion and gender-affirming care don’t reflect my values or our field’s inclusive mission. Advocacy should protect, not restrict, patients’ rights and access to care.

RT @AmirSalmasi: Excited to host our first perfused cadaver lab today @UCSD_Urology, focusing on open surgical skills. Big thanks to @baxte…

Thrilled to welcome @YakhannahKay from @UNCurology to the @UCSD_Urology SUO fellowship! She’s an incredible talent, and we’re lucky to have her join our team. #UroOnc #SUO_YOU @AdityaBagrodia @JuanDeslogesMD @lissmike @Cold_Steel_1970 @cjkane10 @endourologyucsd @m_e_nielsen

We loved seeing familiar faces at #AUA25.
