The Keyes Medal

The Keyes Medal was created in 1926 when the AAGUS named a committee to consider this presentation for "outstanding contributions in the advancement of Urology." It is recognized as the greatest individual citation in the specialty and it has been awarded sparingly. All Keyes Medals are in cast, on order, and were originally of 14-karat gold. However, at the 1974 meeting, the membership voted that these might be cast in bronze because of the increased cost of gold.
