摘要

Introduction: In this study we assessed academic and demographic factors, including parental status, associated with men and women entering urology residency.Methods: An anonymous, Internet based survey was created, asking about academic and demographic characteristics at the time of residency application. The survey was e-mailed to 1,184 urology residents and fellows on 3 occasions. E-mail addresses were obtained through the AUA (American Urological Association) website, PubMed? or familiar contacts. Subjects were excluded from analysis if they had completed training, trained outside of the United States or if they had nonworking e-mail addresses. Chi-squared testing and logistic regression analysis were performed.
