AUA 2025

A Message from Dr. Jean Joseph, Professor & Chair, Department of Urology

We were proud to represent the University of Rochester at AUA2025, where our department once again demonstrated its commitment to excellence in urologic research, education, and clinical innovation. This year’s meeting marked another important milestone for our team, with strong participation from faculty, residents, fellows, and students alike.

Across a wide range of topics, our contributions reflected both the depth and diversity of our work. Several team members received recognition for their outstanding presentations and research efforts. We were honored to take part in numerous educational events, panel discussions, and leadership forums.

Our continued engagement at the national level underscores the momentum we are building as a department—both in academic contributions and in shaping the future of urology. As we look ahead, we remain focused on advancing patient care, fostering collaboration, and nurturing the next generation of urologic leaders.

Thank you to everyone who made this year's conference a success. Together, we are moving forward in the spirit of Meliora.
