He went on to complete his residency training at The University of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Malhotra is excited to join Jefferson Urology in this role. He intends to make the most of his fellowship experience to expand the breadth of his robotic training and further refine his skills in complex oncologic procedures. After completion of his fellowship, he plans to join a private practice in Alexandria, Virginia where he will be helping expand a robotics program at a new facility.
