The University of Florida Department of Urology once again showcased its commitment to academic and clinical excellence at the 75th Annual Meeting of the FUS, held from August 31 - September 3, 2023, at the Loews Sapphire Falls Resort in Orlando. Our residents and faculty were at the forefront, contributing significantly to the event's success.
It is my great honor to announce our department faculty academic promotions for 2023. Drs. Benjy Canales (Full Professor), Paul Crispen (Full Professor) and Padraic O'Malley (Associate Professor) each received their promotion notice on June 21, 2023 from Joseph Glover, the University of Florida provost and senior vice president of academic affairs. Each one of these faculty have contributed significantly to academic urology and especially the growth of the University of Florida College of Medicine Department of Urology.
Perhaps the most inspiring and engaging talk was given by our patient perspective speaker, Mr. Thomas Surrency. His talk was filled with honesty, compassion, and hope. Patients, their families, and those that treat patients with kidney cancer were left feeling inspired, optimistic, and better educated on how to beat this disease! We look forward to a repeat event next year!
