The American Urological Association (AUA) recently named Kerri Thurmon, MD, associate professor of urology in the University of Colorado Department of Surgery, as one of the recipients of its 2023 Young Urologist of the Year Award. The award is presented annually to recognize early-career association members for their efforts and commitment to advancing the development of fellow young urologists.
Thurmon, who practices at Denver Health and has been a faculty member at the CU School of Medicine for two years, was recognized both for her clinical work and for her work mentoring residents to prevent burnout.
We spoke with Thurmon about her career path and about the AUA award.
