Most mentee survey respondents (93%) would consider being a future resident mentor. CONCLUSIONS: Increasing diversity in the field of urology is imperative in improving urologic outcomes and dismantling structural racism. The UReTER Mentorship Program has successfully paired underrepresented medical students with mentors, who may not have had this opportunity previously. UReTER has had a wide geographical reach in its first three years and will continue to strive at lowering the glass ceiling for underrepresented urology applicants. This program can and should be replicated in all surgical subspecialties, which is the plan for the 2024-2025 academic year.
