"As a faculty member with the SOM for nearly 40 years, chair of the Board of Advisors at NYMC and a NYMC graduate, Dr. Katzenstein's long-standing commitment to both the SOM and our students makes him an ideal candidate for this important role. Last year, Dr. Katzenstein played an integral role in securing the SOM's clinical affiliations with Westmed Medical Group and Refuah Health Center."
