AUA Names Jason J. Jameson, MD as 2018 Gallagher Health Policy Scholar
LINTHICUM, MD, November 17, 2017- The American Urological Association (AUA) today announced that Dr. Jason Jameson has been selected as the 2018 Gallagher Health Policy Scholar. This program is designed to train the next generation of urologists for leadership positions in health policy.
Gallagher scholars spend a full year engaged in critical seminars, conferences and meetings at the national level, receive mentoring from AUA physicians in senior roles and participate in a week-long health policy seminar for surgeons sponsored by the American College of Surgeons and held at Brandeis University. Scholars also engage in other educational activities that ensure their immersion in and understanding of health policy issues of importance to urology. The award was created in honor of former AUA Executive Director G. James Gallagher.
"Dr. Jameson is a strong advocate for the specialty of urology at both the state and national levels," said AUA Public Policy Chair Dr. Chris Gonzalez. "We look forward to watching him grow his skills as part of this public policy program."
Dr. Jameson is an instructor in urology at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science in Phoenix, AZ and is a graduate of both Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln, NE and the Carver College of Medicine at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. He completed his internship/residency in both general surgery and urology at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. Dr. Jameson is a recognized leader in the field of health policy, with a clinical specialty centered on men's health and quality improvement.
In addition to his work with the AUA Legislative Affairs Committee, Dr. Jameson is an active member of the Arizona Medical Association, where he serves on the Board of Directors and as a Urology Delegate to the association's House of Representatives. He is currently serving as president of the Arizona Urological Society.
