Abstract

To characterize the current workforce of women urologists in the United States. An anonymous electronic survey was sent to all members of the Society of Women in Urology (SWIU) and all female non-SWIU members of the American Urologic Association (AUA). The survey was distributed in January of 2015. Demographic, work and personal life data were collected. Of 1563 emails with a link to our survey sent to women urologists in the United States, 365 surveys were completed for a 23% response rate. The average age of all participants was 39 years (y) (range 25-73 y). Practicing women urologists had an average age of 44 y (range 32-65 y), compared to the average age (53 y) of all practicing urologists reported in the 2014 AUA Census. The majority of practicing female urologists live and work in a population of >1 million while few live and work in rural areas. Practicing women urologists are most likely to work academic or group practice. 20% of practicing women urologists reported working part-time, but almost 70% report working >50 hours/week. Women urologists in the United States are younger than their male counterparts and most work full-time in urban academic centers.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 May 2016.
All research outputs
#3,689,213
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Urology
#972
of 7,811 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#56,362
of 313,453 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Urology
#15
of 190 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 85th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,811 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 313,453 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 190 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
