A Century of Contributions to the Urological Field

It is rare for a hospital's urology practice to combine class-leading care delivery, research and education, and that is what you find with the U-M Medical School Department of Urology. This is all possible because we share a passion for leading the future of clinical urology, education and discovery. Award-winning and nationally recognized physicians, faculty and administrative team members work together to continue the high standards established by the Department over 100 years ago. 

We are committed to being leaders in the field of urology and contributing to making the University of Michigan Health one of the best.
