Dr. Christopher Kane, chief executive officer of the UC San Diego Health Physician Group and senior assistant vice chancellor of clinical affairs for UCSD Health Sciences, has been appointed president of the American Board of Urology, it was announced Tuesday.
The ABU is an organization of more than 11,000 American urologists that set and maintain standards for the specialty certification.
“Dr. Kane is a nationally renowned leader whose clinical acumen, academic rigor, and deep commitment to mentorship have shaped the future of urology,” said Patty Maysent, chief executive officer of UCSD Health. “From bench to beside and classroom to supervised training, his ability to inspire excellence has earned him widespread respect and recognition.
“His appointment as ABU president is a testament to his rare combination of compassion, curiosity, and strategic insight. These qualities continue to influence the field of urology and inspire and elevate the next generation of urologists.”
Kane specializes in diagnosing and treating patients with prostate, kidney, bladder and testicular cancer. He also has extensive expertise in robotic prostatectomy, open and laparoscopic kidney cancer surgery, and bladder and testes cancer surgery, according to a UCSD statement.
“While on an early rotation in urology, I fell in love with the challenge of the complex surgeries and the camaraderie and dedication of the team,” Kane said. “Being a trustee for the ABU has provided a similar opportunity for collaboration and empowerment working alongside the best urologists in the field.
“Those years of experience are now culminating in my presidency, where I have the privilege of advocating for my fellow physicians and sharing the professional and public health benefits of board certification.”
Kane is the first physician from UCSD Health to serve in this leadership role with the ABU. He has served as a trustee for the organization for five years.
“Dr. Kane has served selflessly in numerous leadership roles for the American Urological Association (Western section) and the Society for Urologic Oncology, as well as the American Association of Genitourinary Surgeons,” said Dr. Manoj Monga, chair of the Department of Urology at UCSD School of Medicine.
“His ability to be a catalyst for constructive dialogue and consensus building will serve the American Board of Urology and the public well.”
