Congratulations to Dr. Kenneth Urish who has been selected as one of the University of Pittsburgh's Health Sciences Ascending Star awardees for 2024. This honor was established in 2022 to recognize highly productive, creative mid-career faculty members in the six Schools of the Health Sciences. Dr. Urish is a fellowship trained Adult Reconstructive and Arthroplasty Orthopedic Surgeon. As an Associate Medical Director at the Magee Bone and Joint Center, his practice focuses on primary and revision hip and knee arthroplasty (joint replacement). He is the Director of the Arthritis and Arthroplasty Design Laboratory. Funded by the National Institute of Health, the group’s focus is on early arthritis prevention and optimizing joint replacement outcomes.
"This Ascending Star Award is just one tangible way in which we can recognize the excellence of faculty members whose career trajectories continue to offer great promise and to encourage them to continue that upward momentum, while also serving as role models and mentors to their junior colleagues," said Anantha Shekhar, MD, PhD, Senior Vice Chancellor for the Health Sciences and John and Gertrude Petersen Dean, School of Medicine.
Congratulations Dr. Urish!
