Dr. Arthur Burnett previous the AUA History Booth he helped to curate, “Onward and Upward: Celebrating Black Urologists in America”. More on the exhibit.
I was a delight to be able to present uh at the A U A in various capacities. One role that I have at this year's annual meeting is that I have served as the lead curator for the uh main exhibit in the History of urology. And so, the History of Urology exhibit that's at the exhibit floor that's held every year. And this one is dedicated to Black Urologist. It's called Onwards and Upwards. Uh The Legacy of Black Urologists in America. Uh And this uh exhibit uh does uh celebrate uh urologists uh who have been of the racial and ethnic group of African Americans who've made contributions in the field, but perhaps have not been well recognized. And I think it does make the point that the urologists of all ethnic backgrounds have contributed to the richness of uh urology in America. And uh certainly all should be celebrated. So this is a big event. Uh And uh it is also associated with the Bicknell lecture. I'm asked to do this lecture uh with the uh main uh history uh presentation during the, during the meeting, uh whereby uh I will deliver a lecture on celebrating Black Urologists in America and again, speak to the contributions that have been made and the impact that the Black Urologists have had uh in neurology in America. Uh The um story I think is one worth telling. Uh you know, Black urologists at this time represent only only about 2% of urologists in America. Uh And I think this has impacted uh uh the extent to which care is provided across all population groups. And so I think that it's great to celebrate the Black Urologists. It's worth acknowledging that there has been a past, a present and a future uh whereby uh Black Urologists uh have made contributions and we'll continue to do so.
