Dr. Schaeffer's accomplishments in both medicine and science have been acknowledged with several leadership appointments and awards. He is Chair of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Prostate Cancer Guidelines Committee, member of the editorial board for the Journal of Urology, and a board member for the Society of Urologic Oncology Clinical Trials Consortium. His research contributions have resulted in the American Urological Association/Astellas Rising Star in Urology Award, American Society for Clinical Oncology Clinical Cancer Advance of the year, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Clinician-Scientist Early Career Award.
