The future supply of urologists is not on pace to account for future demands of urologic care. This impending urologic shortage sits on a backdrop of multiple other workforce issues. In this review, we take an in-depth look at several pressing issues facing the urologic workforce, including the impending urology shortage, gender and diversity concerns, growing levels of burnout, and the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. In doing so, we highlight specific areas of clinical practice that may need to be addressed from a health care policy standpoint.
未来的泌尿科医生数量无法满足未来对泌尿科护理的需求。这种即将出现的泌尿科短缺是多种其他劳动力问题的背景下产生的。在这篇综述中,我们深入探讨了泌尿科劳动力面临的几个紧迫问题,包括即将出现的泌尿科短缺、性别和多样性问题、日益严重的倦怠问题,以及冠状病毒大流行的影响。在这样做的过程中,我们强调了从医疗保健政策角度来看可能需要解决的具体临床实践领域。
