He also led the establishment of the group medical visits and has championed UHI’s other hallmark models of care including LPN protocols and care management.
The UHI’s medical practices are located in Camden, NJ, at the Cooper Advanced Care Center (CACC) on the Cooper Health Sciences Campus and at Cooper Family Medicine at the Kroc Center. Both outpatient multispecialty practices offer primary care and 23 specialties encompassing addiction medicine, medical specialties, orthopaedics, and surgery, among others.
Dr. Kaufman received his medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA, and completed his internship and residency in internal medicine at the University Hospitals of Cleveland at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH. He completed a fellowship in endocrinology and metabolism at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA.
