The 2022 American Urological Association Gold Cystoscope Award has been awarded to Ranjith Ramasamy, M.D., associate professor and director of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Reproductive Urology Program and urologist within the Desai Sethi Urology Institute. Dr. Ramasamy has earned the honor for his commitment to education and mentorship.
Gold Cystoscope Awards are presented annually to a urologist who has made distinguished contributions to the profession while being within ten years of completing their residency. Dr. Ramasamy is the second urologist from the Miller School to receive the honor after Dipen J. Parekh, M.D., founding director of the Desai Sethi Urology Institute and chair of urology at the Miller School, received the award in 2013.
Dr. Ramasamy is constantly involved in new research and learning opportunities as he has led various studies regarding the COVID-19 vaccine and how it does not impact male fertility, along with 391 PubMed-indexed lifetime publications thus far.
As it impacts clinical care, Dr. Ramasamy received an RO1 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to treat erectile dysfunction. In addition, he has multiple ongoing and completed clinical trials investigating new treatments for testosterone deficiency, erectile dysfunction, and Peyronie’s disease.
