AUA2025 welcomes inaugural keynote speaker
Dr. Vin Gupta will share his bold vision for the future of healthcare.
This year, the AUA is flipping the script in more ways than one. For the first time in its storied history, the AUA Annual Meeting will feature a keynote speaker—and the organization is pulling no punches. Attendees at the AUA2025 Plenary on Sunday morning will hear from Dr. Vin Gupta, one of the most dynamic and forward-thinking voices in healthcare and technology today.
Dr. Gupta’s keynote, “The Future of Healthcare: How Will Urology Be Impacted?” promises to set the tone for a meeting focused on the future of urology. Known for his former work as the chief medical officer of Amazon Pharmacy, Dr. Gupta stands at the intersection of clinical practice, public health, military medicine and disruptive innovation.
A practicing pulmonologist, an affiliate assistant professor at the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation and a commissioned officer in the U.S. Air Force Medical Reserve Corps, Dr. Gupta brings a rare breadth of perspective. He’s also a familiar face to many as a trusted medical analyst for NBC News and a contributor to The New York Times.
From leading Amazon’s COVID-19 response to helping shape the tech giant’s healthcare delivery model, Dr. Gupta has been deeply involved in rethinking how care is accessed and delivered. He has advised major global organizations—including Apple, the NFL and MLB—and held research positions with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Bank and Harvard Global Health Institute. His broad-reaching insights have earned him recognition from the U.S. Congressional Black Caucus and the American Medical Association (AMA) as one of the 40 Under 40 National Leaders in Minority Health.
So what does this mean for urologists?
According to AUA Secretary Dr. David Penson, “Dr. Gupta’s keynote is not just a talk—it’s a challenge. He will encourage us to think creatively, act boldly and consider how trends in tech, policy and patient engagement will shape the next era of urological care.”
Expect a fast-paced, thought-provoking presentation filled with compelling stories from the front lines of medicine and technology and big ideas for embracing innovation without losing the human touch.
Whether you’re a private practice physician, academic leader or resident just starting out, this can’t-miss session will inspire you to see what’s next—and how you can help shape the future of urology.
