Summary
- Dr. Blossom Samuels received her medical degree from Weill Cornell Medical College. Dr. Samuels completed her residency training in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at New York-Presbyterian-Columbia & Cornell Campuses. She then completed a Fellowship in Metabolic Bone Disease at Hospital for Special Surgery.
After fellowship, Dr. Samuels joined the faculty at Helen Hayes Hospital, a free-standing rehabilitation hospital and the Regional Bone Center for New York. At Helen Hayes she served as Assistant Clinical Professor at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons and Attending Physician in the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Outpatient Service, while chairing the hospital-wide Nutrition Committee. In addition to her clinical work at Helen Hayes, Dr. Samuels served as a Principal Investigator for a CDC-funded grant, the "New York State Osteoporosis Prevention & Education Program" which allowed her to conduct clinical research to improve fracture prevention and treatment, supply the NY Dept. of Health and CDC with fact sheets and media content, and provide educational outreach to patients, physicians, and physical therapists, while running monthly support groups for osteoporosis patients.
After two years, Dr. Samuels transitioned her career to Westchester Medical Center, where she founded a Bone Health and Rehabilitation Outpatient Service and is co-investigator for a NIH-funded clinical trial investigating bone building drugs. Dr. Samuels is passionate about education, research, and clinical work in the areas of Osteoporosis, Sarcopenia, Prehabilitiation, and Women's Health.
Another important interest is teaching and mentoring medical students and residents.
