The University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson (CoM-T)
invites inquiries, nominations, and expressions of interest for the
role of Chair, Department of Urology. In 2015, Banner Health and
the University of Arizona Colleges of Medicine partnered through an
academic affiliation agreement, establishing a robust academic
clinical partnership, integrating research, education, and patient
care across its academic medical centers in both Tucson and
Phoenix. CoM-T’s stated mission is "to advance the health and
wellness of our community and beyond, in the relentless pursuit of
excellence, through innovation across our tripartite mission -
education, research, and patient care". CoM-T consists of 17
clinical departments, 5 basic science departments, and 7 centers.
In addition, there are over a dozen related centers that form part
of the University of Arizona’s Health Sciences, a statewide leader
in biomedical research and health professions training that also
include the College of Medicine - Phoenix, and Colleges of Nursing,
Pharmacy, and Public Health Reporting directly to the Dean of the
University of Arizona’s College of Medicine – Tucson, the Chair is
charged with advancing the academic, clinical, and research
missions of the Department of Urology, serving as a vital partner
in framing the strategic direction for the University of Arizona’s
College of Medicine – Tucson and Banner Health. The Department of
Urology currently includes 5 core faculty members including 1 PhD
researcher, 7 APPs, and 15 residents in its ACGME-accredited
residency programs. The department is actively engaged in
activities across the tripartite mission, coupling strong academic
and clinical initiatives, research, education, and clinical care,
and is considered a vital local and regional leader in urologic
health programs. With outstanding support, partnerships, and

Medicine-Tucson (BUM-T), the next chair will have the opportunity
to boldly advance the department, building on a strong foundation,
taking it to the next level across all its mission areas, thus
impacting the lives of patients in Arizona and beyond. It is an
exciting time as the world-renowned urologic oncologist, Dr. Dan

the University of Arizona (the only NCI-designated comprehensive
cancer center in the state). The University of Arizona’s College of
Medicine – Tucson, seeks a dynamic, accomplished, nationally
recognized academic physician or physician-scientist to continue

clinical and research collaborations across Banner Health and the
university. Applicants must be board-certified in urology, possess
