- Honors, Awards, and Publications
- Dr. Samadi is Founder and Director of Mount Sinai's Robotic Fellowship Program. The Program is dedicated to clinical and surgical excellence by providing exceptional opportunities for doctors who have completed their residency to train directly with Dr. Samadi. Fellows typically will spend a year working as a full-time, paid assistant to Dr. Samadi. However, all surgeries are performed by Dr. Samadi from beginning to end. Fellowships are awarded based on merit, along with potential to contribute to the fields of urology, oncology, and minimally invasive surgery.
The Robotic Fellowship Program has 3 components: medical research, clinical training with an emphasis on robotic, laparoscopic, and renal surgical methods, and treatment of urological diseases, which includes prostate, bladder, and kidney cancers.
Dr. Samadi frequently presents his clinical research at medical conferences as a subject matter expert nationally and internationally. His website, http://www.RoboticOncology.com, has been translated into six different languages and is one of the most popular urology sites on the Internet.
