Dr. Gamagami received his MD from George Washington University in 1989 and began his global training with the completion of his residency in general surgery at the University of California-San Diego (UCSD). He was awarded the Chief Resident, Chairmans Prize and Outstanding Teaching awards. After completing his surgical residency in 1994, Dr. Gamagami was appointed as an assistant clinical professor of surgery at the University of California-San Diego.
