My name is Nora Kern. IÕm a pediatric urologist in the department of urology. I treat children with congenital abnormalities of the kidneys, the bladder, the penis, and the testicles, for the most part. I was always interested in medicine from an early age. My father was an ER physician in my local hometown. And it was a really small town so it was easy to sort of see the impact that he had our community. I always thought that I wanted to do a surgical field, and so urology is a very subspecialized field in surgery. As I was doing my training, I learned that I really loved treating kids. Within my field, thereÕs various techniques that we use to treat various conditions, but robotic surgery has become a really large part of what we do as surgeons. I really enjoy the surgery itself. I feel like thatÕs probably my niche of what I enjoy doing. You know, IÕm really passionate about the kids that I treat. I feel like itÕs a really important job of what I have to do. WeÕre not just treating the kids, but weÕre treating the families. And thatÕs a really different aspect of medicine that I deal with in my career, but I love it. I think that medicine is all about the whole, and not just one person. So I really enjoy that part of what I do.
