Dr. Aliabadi Reflects on Urology Department's 90th Anniversary

Hossein Aliabadi, MD, a University of Minnesota Medical School ‘87 graduate, remembers when he was first introduced to the field of urology.

“During my training in the 1980s, pediatric urology was in its infancy. At that time, I was fortunate to have Dr. Ricardo Gonzalez as a teacher,” he said. “Dr. Gonzalez was a pediatric urologist at the U of M Medical School and he took special interest in my training and encouraged me to pursue a career in pediatric urology.”

Living Well is as Important as Living Long

Living well is as important as living long. This is a motto that Troy Hanson, MD, MPH, a 1996 graduate of the University of Minnesota Medical School, strongly believes in. 

“You can be physically ill, but if you are mentally healthy and resilient, you can still live a good life,” Dr. Hanson said. 

He first thought about pursuing medicine in junior high as a way to combine his fascination of understanding living things with the satisfaction derived from helping people.
