Dr. Gary Kirsh Elected National President of Medical Association
CINCINNATI (October 23, 2014) – Gary M. Kirsh, M.D., president of The Urology Group, has been elected president of the Large Urology Group Practice Association (LUGPA). His term will begin on November 10, 2014.
LUGPA represents urology group practices across the U.S., with more than 2,000 physician members comprising about 25 percent of the nation’s practicing urologists. LUGPA and its member practices focus on best practices, research, data collection and benchmarking to promote quality clinical outcomes. Dr. Kirsh was instrumental in founding LUGPA, whose members have 10 or more physicians in their group practices.
With nearly 30 years of professional experience, Dr. Kirsh has a long history of involvement in organized urology. Previously, he served as president of both the American Association of Clinical Urologists (AACU) and the Ohio Urologic Society. He has also chaired UROPAC, the only urology-focused political action committee, jointly sponsored by the AACU and the American Urological Association (AUA). He is also the President-Elect of the North Central Section of the AUA.
Kirsh earned his medical degree from the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Medicine and completed his urology residency at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. He has been certified by the American Board of Urology and is licensed in the state of Ohio.
“Watching LUGPA’s growth and development over the years has been both exciting and gratifying,” said Kirsh. “The organization’s accomplishments have been impressive, and I look forward to building on those achievements for the benefit of our members and their patients.”
