Science and Quality Fellow Program

The Science and Quality Fellow Program advances the fields of guidelines, quality, and data. It also helps residents and fellows develop insight into how the AUA develops and promotes the advancement of evidence-based science.

The program is designed to educate urology residents, fellows, and postgraduates about the AUA’s science and quality initiatives and nurture the next generation of urology leaders by providing opportunities to gain critical insight and information needed to drive high quality evidence-based medicine and care.

This two-year program, formerly one, offers a unique opportunity to participate in a variety of science & quality activities that affect urology practice. If you or one of your colleagues has a profound interest in science & quality issues, this program may be right for you!

Max Bowman, MD

2024-2026 Science & Quality Fellow

Dr. Bowman was born in Salt Lake City, Utah where he attended college at the University of Utah, majoring in Exercise Physiology and Chemistry. He then attended the Geisel Dartmouth School of Medicine in Hanover, New Hampshire where he graduated with honors. There, he discovered his love of surgery and found urology, soon matching at the University of California, San Francisco to complete his residency training.

During his training, he discovered a passion for patient safety, quality improvement, medical education, and physician wellness and burnout. He hopes to continue pursuing these interests throughout his career and has since been hired at the University of California, San Francisco as an Assistant Professor of Urology and practices as a General Urologist. In his free time, he loves to read, spend time outdoors, and travel.
