The Perfection of Practice

Ahmed Ghazi

Dr. Ghazi MD, MSc, received his medical degree from Cairo University, Egypt in 2000. Following his training, he completed a series of worldwide fellowships in state-of-the-art minimal invasive Urological surgery, in Paris, Austria (2008-2010) and Rochester, New York (2010-2012). He was appointed Assistant professor of Urology at the University of Rochester (2012), specializing in minimal invasive treatment of urological cancers. In 2015, Dr. Ghazi was appointed as the Director of Simulation Training and obtained funds for development of a simulation training center that housed a variety of state of the art surgical simulators. Unsatisfied with the generic representation of commercial surgical simulators, he teamed up with biomedical engineers to enhance the efficiency, safety and comprehensiveness of surgical training and developed a Simulation Innovation Laboratory (SIL) for the development of high fidelity patient specific procedural models.

Dr. Ghazi believes in a reciprocal relationship between research, teaching and surgery, in which each informs and strengthens the other. He strives to produce academically rigorous research that is theoretically sound and translates directly into a safer surgical environment with improved patient outcomes.
