On April 10th, we had a special Grand Rounds to discuss and celebrate the legacy of Women in Duke Urology.
We had enlightening talks from our first woman graduate Nancy Little (1989) and first Black woman graduate Regina Norris Monroe, (2008) followed by a panel discussion led by Duke faculty member Ashley Wietsma Johnston (2021) and also featuring Kristy Borawski (2009) and Stevie Knapp Sexton (2020).
We were also joined by other female faculty members from UNC Urology and many DYSURICs virtually.
We discussed the challenges women in urology continue to face but celebrated how far we've come in 35 years. Our Department is committed to gender equity and we look forward to more events in the future that celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion.
