UCI School of Medicine Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month: Jaime Landman, MD

Jaime Landman, MD, is well-recognized for his extensive clinical expertise, pioneering novel technologies and techniques for minimally invasive kidney diseases, and for global impact in laparoscopic and endoscopic kidney surgery. His accolades include the Endourological Society’s 2023 Ralph Clayman Mentor Award and the 2005 Arthur Smith Award for early career achievement.

As chair of the Department of Urology since 2011, Dr. Landman has taken an active role in the High School Outreach Program and Summer Surgery Program, providing opportunities for thousands of high school students to cultivate their interests in the medical field for over a decade. These efforts speak directly to Dr. Landman’s connection to the Orange County community.

“As Peruvian immigrants, my parents arrived in New York in 1963. They faced and overcame many challenges both personally and professionally and raised my sister and I in an environment celebrating our Hispanic heritage,” recalls Dr. Landman. “Today, the wonderful Hispanic community of Southern California is where my family and I can draw much strength and comfort. The familiar sounds, aromas and cultural warmth fortify a sense of belonging.”
