The kids are in charge! Trainee-led collaborative research in Urology
Today we focus on trainee-led collaborative research, focussing on three of the best examples out there. We chat with the leaders of the British Urology Researchers in Surgical Training (BURST), the European Society of Residents in Urology (ESRU), and the Australian Young Urology Researchers Organisation (YURO). These groups have a number of missions, including networking and mentorship for trainees, but they also have a particular interest in collaborative research. We chat with Veeru Kasi and Meg Kulkarni from BURST, Diego Carrion Monsalve from ESRU, and Ellen O'Connor from YURO, about the beginnings of their respective organisations, how they function, their successes to date, and some of the challenges they face. We hear of some amazing examples of trainee-led research involving many thousands of patients, 50+ centres in multiple countries, with impressive publications to date. We also hear how organisations such as BAUS, EAU, and USANZ, and journals including BJUI, European Urology Today, and Minerva Urologica e Nefrologica have supported trainee-led research, but how more can be done to foster these initiatives.
Hosted by Declan Murphy and Renu Eapen from Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.
