Department of Medicine
Marc Klapholz, MD, MBA, FACC
Professor and Chair
The Department of Medicine offers a broad range of clinical services for
adults and opportunities for training and careers for physicians. Internists
regularly counsel patients about strategies to prevent future disease
and apply highly specialized technologies to solve current medical problems.
For young physicians, a career in internal medicine can offer a lifelong
partnership with patients providing primary care or can focus on a subspecialty
area in which they provide expert and focused consultation and management.
The Department of Medicine at New Jersey Medical School offers an additional
dimension related to academic activities of training and research. Our
faculty engage in cutting-edge research, defining the current state-of-the-art
in fundamental understanding of disease processes and optimal approaches
to prevention, diagnosis and management. This translates into an ideal
environment in terms of the latest methods of clinical care and training.
This is an exciting time for practicing physicians, trainees and our patients.
New diagnostic techniques and advances in molecular biology and genetics
have made it possible to better understand our patients’ problems.
It is the translation of these advances to the bedside that is our forte
- and our commitment.
Our department is constituted by dedicated clinical faculty and active
research programs located at three principal sites: the East Orange Veterans’
Administration Medical Center; Hackensack University Medical Center, a
suburban tertiary referral hospital; and University Hospital, an urban
hospital that serves an inner-city population as well as a referred patient
base.
