Dr. Nam is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Urology at University of Michigan. She graduated from Emory School of Medicine and completed a urology residency at University of Michigan. She subsequently completed an andrology fellowship at Northwestern University. Her primary research interest is to better understand factors contributing to the worsening urologic workforce shortage and improve access to care for men with infertility and erectile dysfunction. Dr. Nam’s research aims to assess the current urologic workforce landscape, characterize issues with recruitment and retention, and identify areas of advocacy for health policy change on institutional, state, and federal levels. She is also pursuing a Master’s Degree in Health and Health Care Research at University of Michigan.
