Among awards recognizing his teaching, research, and clinical contributions, Dr. Nezhat has received the Blue Ribbon for laparoscopic treatment for recurrent endometrial cancer at the 2006 Annual Meeting of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and the First Prize for the teaching video, "Laparoscopic Staging in a Patient with Fallopian Tube Carcinoma," at the 2002 ACOG meeting.
