Thinking about urology in your first year of med school? Here’s my advice: Stay curious. Urology touches everything—kidneys, bladder, genitals, fertility, hormones, even mental health. Get exposure early. Shadow. Ask questions. Don’t let anyone box you out. If you’re passionate, this field is for you—whether or not you “look like” the average urologist. And remember: you’re not just treating organs. You’re helping people talk about the stuff they’re most afraid to say out loud. That’s powerful.
