Urology Medal Award

Recipients receive a bronze medallion embossed with the Della Robbia — the swaddled baby symbol that dates back to the Middle Ages when eight 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. After a tribute to their longstanding career by a colleague, the Urology Medal is presented to the honoree.
