About

Alexandra L. Tabakin is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical innovation, medical education, and health services research. Her most impactful contribution came during the COVID-19 pandemic, when she led a timely study on adapting urology residency training during the crisis, a paper that has garnered 70 citations and helped reshape how surgical programs maintain education during disruptions. Dr. Tabakin has also made important contributions to the debate on surgical approaches for bladder cancer, comparing open versus robotic cystectomy outcomes, and has analyzed national trends in adrenalectomy, examining how surgeon specialty and surgical approach—open, laparoscopic, or robotic—affect utilization and outcomes for both benign and malignant disease. Her work in these areas, though still early in her career, demonstrates a commitment to evidence-based surgical practice and the future of urologic training. With a growing citation footprint and a focus on both clinical outcomes and educational resilience, Dr. Tabakin is emerging as a thoughtful voice in modern urology.
