Jordan Powell Urology Resident

Jordan Powell , MD

  • About Me

    I was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ and grew up to love the rugged landscape of the Southwest and the outdoors. I attended Vanderbilt University for my undergraduate degree in economics, but then decided to pursue medicine and returned home to attend The University of Arizona in Phoenix for medical school.

    Medical Areas of Interest

    I was introduced to urology prior to medical school, but became more seriously interested after enjoying my surgery rotation as a third-year medical student. I enjoyed pace of surgical specialties, being on my feet all day away from a computer, and the great impact surgery could have on patients. Urology encompassed these elements with a wide scope of practice including cancer care, quality of life conditions, robotics and other amazing technology, and long-term patient care. I have enjoyed all aspects of urology and I hope to combine them as a community general urologist after residency.

    Interests & Hobbies

    Golf, hiking, cooking, guitar, Arizona sports, and spending time with my wife, son, and dogs. 

    Why Utah?

    I was fortunate to spend a month at the University of Utah as a visiting fourth-year medical student. During that month I realized the benefits of training at an institution that serves as the main referral center for a large region. This program offers robust training in all areas of urology, great faculty educators, supportive co-residents, and an interesting and diverse patient population.
