UrologyUpdate Dr. Edouard Trabulsi Named President of Mid-Atlantic American Urological Association “I enjoy the opportunities to expand my knowledge and share my work with my fellow practitioners and am looking forward to the upcoming year as MA-AUA president.”
The Department of Urology is pleased to announce Dr. Edouard Trabulsi’s appointment to serve a one-year term as president of the Mid-Atlantic American Urological Association (MA-AUA) effective October 2016. Dr. Trabulsi has been a member of MAAUA for 12 years in which he previously served as a board member and section secretary. “I am proud and honored to be appointed to this position for such a prestigious association,” said Dr. Trabulsi. “I look forward to working with my fellow members in the upcoming year in bringing more attention and growth to our section.” As president, Dr. Trabulsi anticipates leading initiatives to build membership and improve the section’s promotions and awareness. Additionally, he will coordinate two annual meetings: one for the membership and the other for residents.
HOME OF SIDNEY KIMMEL MEDICAL COLLEGE
This year’s membership meeting at Amelia Island, FL, marks the 75th anniversary of the section. The four-day scientific gathering will focus on the scientific exchange of urological education, practice and research. As a member and now president of MAAUA, Dr. Trabulsi believes his affiliation helps bring prominence and visibility to Jefferson’s internationally recognized experts in all major fields of urology. “Being a part of MA-AUA helps improve our department’s reputation in the urological community. Having physicians who serve in national positions for prestigious organizations is something Jefferson Urology has always been proud of,” noted Dr. Trabulsi. In addition to his new appointment, Dr. Trabulsi currently serves on the Society of Urological Oncology’s Board of Directors, is president of the Philadelphia Urologic
Society and is active on three national AUA committees. Dr. Trabulsi is the third Jefferson urology physician in recent years to be appointed MA-AUA president. Previously, Drs. Leonard Gomella and S. Grant Mulholland held the position. Dr. Trabulsi appreciates the support and freedom that Jefferson, in particular Dr. Gomella, has afforded him in pursuing myriad professional affiliations. “Jefferson and the Department of Urology have always been supportive and encouraging in my pursuit of leadership roles and affiliation memberships within the national urological community,” Dr. Trabulsi remarked. “I enjoy the opportunities to expand my knowledge and share my work with my fellow practitioners and am looking forward to the upcoming year as MA-AUA president.”

RAMACHANDRA
Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego, CA. As a fellow, she also completed the Clinical Research Enhancement through Supplemental Training (CREST) at the University of California in San Diego. Dr. Ramachandra is interested in all aspects of caring for children with urologic concerns.
Among the many faculty accomplishments, Dr. Edouard Trabulsi has been promoted to full professorship.

It is with extreme sadness that the Department of Urology reports the passing of Dr. Craig Slotoroff in December. Dr. Slotoroff, who is a graduate from our program as Chief Resident in 2008, passed away after a long illness. Dr. Slotoroff had a busy practice at the New Jersey shore.
Drs. Costas Lallas, Leonard Gomella and Edouard Trabulsi, along with Anne Calvaresi, CRNP, were part of a team of physicians and support staff from multiple specialties who authored “Clinical Influences in the Multidisciplinary Management of Small Renal Masses at a Tertiary Referral Center,” a unique multidisciplinary program to help with decision making in the management of small renal masses (Published online August 18, 2016, in Urology Practice).

Vice President Joe Biden accepted the INCP Beau Biden Award at the symposium.
What does Dr. Mark’s work mean for patients? While Dr. Mark enjoys teaching students and residents, he hopes to continue to work as a clinical trialist in advancing human health through advocating the use of clinical trials, which lead to the development and dissemination of optimal methods and practices in clinical trials, and the education of clinical trial professionals. Additionally, he hopes to continue improving Jefferson’s tradition of expert cancer care with an interest in minimally invasive surgery.

Drs. J. Ryan Mark, Mark Hurwitz and Jean Hoffman-Censtis represented the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center (SKCC) by leading a panel discussion on urothelial carcinoma at the Northeastern Pennsylvania Integrated Network Cancer Program’s Update in Bladder Cancer Symposium. Local urologists from Delta Medix, members of the Jefferson Urology Network and Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center networks presented several of their more challenging cases to the panel at the meeting, which was well attended by local physicians, nurses and medical students from The Commonwealth Medical College in Scranton. Several key clinical trials available at SKCC were highlighted during the discussions: a phase II trial of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in upper tract urothelial carcinoma, and an upcoming phase III trial of recombinant AdenovirusINFa/Syn3 gene therapy for BCG refractory superficial bladder cancer. The panel discussion was followed by a very special award ceremony where Vice President Joe Biden accepted the INCP Beau Biden Award for his leadership of the historic Moonshot plan. In an emotional and inspiring acceptance speech, Mr. Biden discussed his son’s fight with cancer, and expressed his sincere gratitude to the oncology nurses at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for the compassion they showed his family during the final days of Beau’s fight. He presented an overview of his plan to accelerate cancer research with an open exchange of information in the scientific community and an emphasis on a multidisciplinary approach to cancer research. The evening concluded with an update on immunotherapies for bladder cancer presented by Dr. Hoffman-Censits in which she emphasized the landmark Imvigor210 study that she presented at GU ASCO 2016.
In 2015, Dr. Mark graduated from TJU’s urology program as chief resident. He returns to TJU upon completion of a urology oncology fellowship at the Carolinas Medical Center.

Junior Residents Attend Boston Scientific Endourology Training Two of our junior residents, Drs. Hong Truong and Tomy Perez (both PGY-3) recently attended an endourology training course sponsored by Boston Scientific. The resident course was held in Boston on Saturday, September 24, 2016. “It was an invaluable experience attending the Stone Institute ureteroscopy course,” said Dr. Perez. “Leaders of the field gave us practical tips on maneuvering difficult ureters, lithotripsy and preventing/managing complications, which will come in very useful for the rest of my training and career. The mix of lectures, case discussions and hands-on training was excellent, and no time was wasted on information that was not relevant to practicing endourology.”
