Frank Hinman, Jr., MD

Research Interests

Hinman's interest in urodynamics, stemming from original studies beginning in 1954, resulted in a workshop he coordinated and edited in 1971 as Hydrodynamics of Micturition. With Saul Boyarsky and Jacques Susset, he founded the Urodynamics Society, was its second president, and has subsequently received the Society's Career Accomplishment Award. His interest in research enabled him to become chairman of the Committee on Research of the American Urological Association from 1970 to 1975. His committee initiated the AUA Scholar program, and he became a founding director of the American Foundation for Urologic Research. Hinman has been the Urology Representative on the Advisory Council of the National Institute for Arthritis, Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases and, for 33 years, chairman of the UCSF Committee on Research (REAC).
