Yesterday marked a major milestone for our graduating Chief Residents, Dr. Zafar Dalimov, Dr. @juliaspyu, and Dr. Ahmed Abdalla, as well as Reconstructive Urology Fellow Dr. @TejJDesai
Their leadership, mentorship, and dedication have made such a lasting impact on our residents, patients, and program. As they pass the baton to the next chief class, we are so proud to celebrate all they have accomplished and for what’s ahead.
We know they will continue to make @EinsteinUrology proud in their next chapters! 🎓⚕️
Huge congratulations to @tamirsholk on matching at @USC_Urology for Urologic Oncology Fellowship!
Well deserved recognition of years of hard work. USC is getting a fantastic fellow! @USC_Urology@UroOnc#fighton ✌️
Dr. Canning exemplified true leadership- always the first to credit his teammates after big accomplishments and the first to accept responsibility when outcomes were difficult. His humility, integrity , and surgical excellence as Chair of Pediatric Urology at @ChildrensPhila left a lasting impact on generations of trainees and colleagues.
In honor of his legacy, @EinsteinUrology continues to host the annual Dr. Douglas A. Canning Lecture.
This year, @PennUrology’s Dr. @KovellCaleb, director of Genitourinary Reconstruction and Transitional Urology, gave a thoughtful and engaging presentation on bladder augmentation and transitional urology.

The beginning of the end 🥲

Huge thank you to Dr. Anoia-Loftus for hosting the team, and to @jocefuchs and Dr. Hirshberg for the celebrity guest appearances ⭐️
Congratulations to @ETUroOnc, Professor and Chair of the Department of Urology at Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital, and John Leighton, MD, Division Chair, Hematology and Medical Oncology at Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital, on receiving an American Cancer Society Impact Award – Expanding Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials in the Community.
Funding from this award will support efforts to increase participation of African American men with prostate cancer in clinical trials – an essential step toward advancing equity in cancer care and improving outcomes. Clinical trials provide an avenue for patients to contribute to research findings for future generations and may offer access to new therapies.
Unfortunately, less than 5% of participants in oncology clinical trials are African American men. According to the American Cancer Society, despite declines in overall cancer mortality in the United States, prostate cancer deaths in African American men represent the greatest mortality disparity in oncology.
“Our goal is to increase the accrual of men with prostate cancer onto clinical trial at Einstein, across the whole spectrum of disease and including diagnostic trials, therapeutic trials, longitudinal observational trials and population health trials,” Dr. Trabulsi said.
This award reflects Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital’s ongoing commitment to delivering cutting‑edge treatments and research to the communities it serves. It also reflects the mission of the American Cancer Society to “improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research and patient support to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, find, treat and survive cancer.” @KimmelCancerCtr

Embarking on a new chapter of my professional life. Sad to leave my partners and the residents at Temple University after 13 amazing years. I’ve
now moved across town to Thomas Jefferson University. I wanted to remember my first case with my new residents @EinsteinUrology!
