A dedicated clinician, educator, researcher, and nationally recognized health policy leader, Dr. Arora\u2019s promotion reflects his far-reaching contributions to the department, the School of Medicine, and the broader urology community.<\/p>\n<h2>A Champion of Quality and Innovation<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Arora serves as Co-Director of Quality Improvement for the Department of Urology and as Director of Robotic Surgery in Pediatric Urology.

You\u2019re actually more likely to get to know your legislator at the state level because it\u2019s a much smaller scale\u2014and that\u2019s where real change often begins.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Dedicated to Education, Advocacy, and Service<\/h2>\n<p>A graduate of Northwestern University\u2019s Medical Scientist Training Program, Dr. Arora earned both his MD and PhD in Cancer Biology, along with a Graduate Certificate in Management for Scientists and Engineers from the Kellogg School of Management.
