Conduc Urology

A few weeks ago, some of our ConDUC Executive Team, mentors, and mentees had the opportunity to attend the American Urological Association Reception in Washington, DC. It was a great evening of meaningful conversations, new connections, and celebrating the value of mentorship within our community.

Bringing together students, mentors, and professionals in one space creates opportunities to learn from one another, build lasting connections, and strengthen our community!

For decades, African American men have been underrepresented in prostate cancer research, limiting our understanding of a disease that disproportionately affects this population.

The SCOPE Registry is working to close that gap by building a robust, longitudinal database that will help researchers answer important questions about disease biology, treatment patterns, and patient outcomes.

Better data today can lead to better care tomorrow.

As June comes to a close, Men’s Health Month serves as an important reminder that health is not something to think about once a year.

Prostate Cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among men, and early detection often depends on timely screening and open discussions with a healthcare provider.

Take time to talk to your doctor, get screened, and understand your personal risk factors. Early conversations can lead to earlier detection and better outcomes.

Today, we stand with every individual, family, and community impacted by cancer. At ConDUC, our work centers on advancing equity, research, and early detection in prostate cancer. Because awareness saves lives.

Together, we can create a future with better outcomes for all.

Our Executive Director, Dr. Walter Rayford has penned an important article featured in AUANews on the Consortium on Disparities of Urologic Conditions Mentorship Training Program!

This program is a model of excellence designed to support mentorship and career development in urology while advancing equity and inclusion within clinical trials.

If you know any physicians who may be interested in our program, let us know. Read more about how this initiative is making an impact and shaping the next generation of leaders in urology. Click the link in our bio to read.
