The aim of the Aliabadi-Kazim Scholars Program (AKSP) is to provide an opportunity for underrepresented in medicine (URM) individuals, particularly from programs without urology residencies, the chance to gain exposure to urology to consider it as a career choice. The program will also provide coaching on applications and interview skills, with the goal to increase the numbers of URMs from diverse backgrounds in urology.
