Associate Professor of Urology
Johns Hopkins University
Dr. Ghazi MD, MHPE, received his medical education 2000 and Urology residency 2001-2005 from Cairo University, Egypt. He completed a series of endourology fellowships, in Europe (2009-2011), where he received accreditation from the European Board of Urology. He completed a robotic surgery fellowship at the University of Rochester , New York (2011-2013), after which was appointed Assistant professor of Urology at the University of Rochester. In 2023 he joined the Brady Urological Institute at Johns Hopkins University as Director of Robotic and Minimal invasive surgery and Director of Simulation training.
Dr. Ghazi specializes in the diagnosis and minimal invasive treatment of urological cancers. To enhance his educational background, he was awarded the George Corner Deans Teaching fellowship (2014-2016), completed the Harvard Macy Institute program for Educators in Health Professions in 2016, a Masters in Health Professions Education program at the Warner School of Education, University of Rochester (2016-2020) and a Senior Leadership Education and Development Program at the University of Rochester (2021-2023).
Dr. Ghazi founded the Simulation Innovation Laboratory and leads a team of biomedical engineers that combine 3D printing and hydrogel polymer technologies to fabricate realistic procedural models that replicate the texture, appearance and tissue reaction of human organs. In this role, he collaborates with educators nationally, and internationally, in a variety of disciplines to enhance the role of simulation in surgical education.
Dr. Ghazi was awarded several awards at international scientific and academic conferences as well as grants including a Clinical and Translational Science Award (2017), academic PI of a NIH, STTR grant, and PI of a NIH, NIBIB grant to evaluate the impact of his innovative simulations in improving surgical performance and their translational impact on patient outcomes.
