HERNANDEZ, Natalia  and  GONZALEZ, Ricardo René. Training, performance and value of Latinas in the United States urology workforce. Rev. mex. urol. [online]. 2021, vol.81, n.6, e09.  Epub June 16, 2025. ISSN 2007-4085.  https://doi.org/10.48193/revistamexicanadeurologa.v81i6.838.

With the increasing diversity in the population of the United States, efforts and interest in diversity in healthcare have followed. The article offers an insightful review of recent studies evaluating the role of women and underrepresented minorities (URM) in Urology in order to better understand the state of Latinas in Urology. We review the representation of women in urology residency in the United State (U.S.), international medical graduates (IMGs) in urology, and the most recent initiatives developed by urologists to increase diversity in the urological community to better reflect the communities served.

Keywords : International Medical Graduates (IMG); women in urology; underepresented minorities; diversity; equity; inclusion.
