AAP Urology Medal
The Urology Medal is one of the highest honors conferred upon pediatrics urologists. The award
is presented by the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Urology to individuals who have
made outstanding contributions to the field of pediatric urology.
Recipients receive a bronze medallion embossed with the Della Robbia – the swaddled baby
symbol that dates back to the Middle Ages when 8 larger medallions adorned the foundling
hospital Ospedale Delli Innocenti in Florence, Italy. The Della Robbia has been the official insignia
of the American
Academy of Pediatrics
since the early 1940s.
