Alban Gee Award

The Alban Gee Award is given for the best oral presentation of an E-poster or a video presentation by a USANZ member or Non-Member at the ASM.
 

Background

The Award s created to honour and remembe Dr Alban Harvey Gee (1911-1986), a USANZ member who made a significant contribution to the early development of the Society. He served the Society and urology in many roles including: Secretary from 1946-1952; President from 1960-1961; RACS Examiner in Urology between 1964 to 1972 and was elected a Fellow of the Society in 1978. He was the recognised master of the “Harris Prostatectomy” and was held in high regard by his urological colleagues. The poster prize was instigated by USANZ in 1986 and funded by a generous donation to the Society by his family.

Alban passed away in 1986 and subsequently, his wife Muriel and the Gee family donated a bequest to provide a prize each year for the best poster presentation at the ASM.
