Jeremy Myers, MD

Research interest: Reconstructive urology, Neurourology, Gender affirmation surgery, Radiation injury, Male incontinence

After completing his residency at the University of Colorado, Dr. Myers spent an additional fellowship year with Dr. Jack McAninch at University of California, San Francisco and the San Francisco General Hospital. The emphasis of Dr. Myers' fellowship training was the management of acute trauma and reconstruction of the urinary tract in patients with problems ranging from urethral strictures, radiation injury, incontinence, ureteral strictures, and neurogenic bladder. He is currently an associate professor at the University of Utah School of Medicine. He is board certified in urology and a member of the American Urologic Association, the Society of Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgeons, and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He is on the board of directors and the secretary-elect of the Society of Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgeons.  He is also on the board of directors of the International Volunteers in Urology. Dr. Myers is a co-director of the University of Utah's research and clinical fellowship in Genitourinary Injury and reconstructive urology.

Dr. Myers has been very active in academic urology. His research focuses on three aspects of benign urologic disease: neurogenic bladder, reconstructive surgery, and management of uro-trauma. He is primary investigator of a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) sponsored project entitled "Bladder Management and Spinal Cord Injury".  In addition, also involving neurogenic bladder research, he is primary investigator of recently funded Department of Defense grant entitled "Sacral Neuromodulation in Acute Spinal Cord Injury". These studies involved the Neurogenic Bladder Research Group (NBRG), started by Dr. Myers and several other investigators. NBRG is a large multi-institutional group focused on patient-reported outcomes and robust clinical studies. In addition, Dr. Myers is a founding member of the Trauma and Urologic Research Network of Surgeons (TURNS), another multi-institutional group of 13 centers in North America, studying reconstructive urology.  His work in uro-trauma has involved the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST).  He is the primary investigator for two prospective trials through the AAST, which involve greater than 20 level-1 trauma centers in the United States.  These trials are focused on current management of renal and bladder trauma, as well as the outcomes of urethral realignment after pelvic fracture urethral injury.
