Urology Resident
University of Washington
Dr. Maheetha Bharadwaj grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and graduated with a Bachelors of Science with Honors in Biology and a Masters of Science in biomedical informatics from Stanford University. She obtained a Masters of Philosophy in Genomic Medicine from the University of Cambridge as a Gates Scholarship recipient. Afterwards, she worked in a hematology oncology lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering prior to commencing her medical degree at Harvard Medical School. Currently, Dr. Bharadwaj is a 4th year Urology resident at the University of Washington. Her journey sits at the intersection of medicine, art, and advocacy. Her path to urology was inspired by seeing the kinds of vulnerable issues addressed by urologists. Dr. Bharadwaj’s research interests include finding the intersection between genomics and equity research particularly in bladder and prostate cancer. During residency, Dr. Bharadwaj has built a social media following. Through artistic humorous skits and educational videos, she hopes to fight mis-information, inspire the next generation, and help restore trust in medicine. Outside the OR, you’ll find her building bridges between medicine and the arts, always reminding us that healing comes in many forms.
