Gallagher Health Policy Scholarship

Launched in 2007, the Gallagher Health Policy Scholar Program is now embarking upon its fourth year. Designed to prepare the next generation of urologists to fill vital leadership roles in health policy and developed to honor the AUA's former executive director, one scholar is selected each year through a competitive process.
