In these roles, Dr. Pham teaches medical students, neurosurgical residents, and spine fellows at the UC San Diego School of Medicine.
He is published extensively within the field of spinal conditions and has an active interest in the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques with robotics platforms to advance safer evidence-based spine care. He has authored more than 200 peer-reviewed research publications, abstracts, and textbook chapters, and has presented his work at the national and international level.
Dr. Pham completed a fellowship in robotic, spinal deformity, and motion preservation surgery at Columbia University's New York-Presbyterian Daniel and Jane Och Spine Hospital.
