Scott Bauer, MD, MS

Assoc. Professor In Residence

Dr. Bauer is a general internist, translational epidemiologist, and clinician investigator with a primary care practice based at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center (SFVAMC). He is also a member of the Baker Aging Research Institute (https://geroscience.ucsf.edu) and the Kidney Health Research Collective (https://khrc.ucsf.edu/). His academic focus is to understand the mechanisms underlying urologic aging and to define clinical phenotypes and biomarkers for older adults with debilitating urologic conditions. Dr. Bauer's areas of research expertise include geriatric urology, lifestyle and age-related risk factors, and longitudinal assessment of biomarkers, functional outcomes, and quality of life.
