Samuel Washington

Dr. Washington is an Assistant Professor in Urology at SFVAMC and UCSF. He completed his medical school training at University of California, San Francisco and was selected by the Department of Urology to complete his urology residency.  He stayed on at UCSF to complete his urologic oncology fellowship, during which time he finished a Master’s Degree in Clinical Research.

His research has focused on prostate cancer outcomes with current research focusing on health services and cancer outcome disparities with genitourinary malignancies. His ongoing research efforts continue to mirror his passion to expand our depth of knowledge in medicine in how variations in care at the local level drive differences in treatment and survival for patients with genitourinary cancers. By understanding local variations in treatment, we can better inform understand barriers to change at the provider, facility, and healthcare system levels to improve outcomes in genitourinary cancers.
