## Resource

Dr. Michael Leveridge is a urologist at Queen’s University. He specializes in urologic oncology and is the editor in chief of the Canadian Urological Association Journal. We spoke to him about his career, his role as editor in chief, and how he creates mental models in his practice. In addition, Dr. Leveridge did a masterclass with us on ureteric injuries. We also watch videos together and get his thoughts on how to avoid these injuries. Check out the YouTube masterclass here: https://youtu.be/izHOSh38J7U Links: https://cuaj.ca/index.php/journal/index Cancel half of your clinic visits* (a Halloween hot take). https://cuaj.ca/index.php/journal/article/view/8996 Mental models in practice: Calculus and the future self. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35623001/
