Abstract
Racism is deeply ingrained in our society with lasting effects within medicine. The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted racial disparities in the medical field, including in the field of Urology. This has led to investigation regarding the effects of racism on education, patient care, and research within Urology. This article aims to review current literature on the “other pandemic,” structural racism, within medicine and specifically urology and provide ways to combat its impact.
