Dr. Johnson Receives 2024 Resident Award  

At LUGPA's 2024 Annual Meeting, Dr. Jared Johnson was presented with LUGPA Forward's 2024 Resident Clinical Excellence Award. 

He is a fifth year resident at the University of Minnesota and was nominated for the award by his program director Dr. Phillipp Dahm. “There is nobody I could recommend more strongly than Dr. Johnson for this award,” stated Dr. Dahm at the end of his nomination letter.  

Dr. Kari Bailey presented the Award on behalf of the LUGPA Forward Committee. "Jared has done a tremendous amount in the last few years" Dr. Bailey said.  "In his second year he explored new approaches to bladder irrigation to decrease intervention for clot evacuation. He has encouraged the faculty to implement new technology. He led several quality improvement projects and is the “go-to” person for organizing educational sessions and social events for his fellow residents. His attendings commented that his bedside manner is among the best they have ever seen and patients request him by name."  

Dr. Johnson shared that he was honored to accept this award and found LUGPA's 2024 Annual Meeting to be "fantastic, with fascinating lectures regarding the politics of medicine."

After completion of his residency, Dr. Johnson will be joining Minnesota Urology where he will continue to shine.
