To attract high-level mentors, a mentee must show a "spark" of curiosity and initiative. Don't just have one mentor; seek out different advisors for research, clinical work, and personal growth. The Power of Interaction: In a world of AI and smartphones, Dr. Burnett emphasizes that "Emotional Intelligence" is built through in-person connection. Put down the phone and engage with your peers to truly develop as a professional. Preserving Manhood: Dr. Burnett's work isn't just about treating disease; it's about preserving quality of life. He discusses how modern surgery can treat prostate cancer while maintaining sexual function—addressing the #1 fear that keeps men from getting tested.   Prostate Cancer Stats for Black Men: 1 in 6 Black men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer (compared to 1 in 9 for the general population). Black men face a 2.5x higher mortality rate due to delayed treatment. The "Age 40" Rule: While general guidelines often suggest age 50, Dr. Burnett recommends Black men get their first PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood test at age 40.   Stay connected with all I'm doing
