Marc S. Micozzi (born October 27, 1953) is a physician specializing in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), a medical anthropologist, and an epidemiologist.[1][2][3][4]

Micozzi served as a researcher and physician for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Walter Reed Medical Center; and the College of Physicians of Philadelphia.[1][2][5] He also is an adjunct professor for the Department of Pharmacology at Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C.[6]

Micozzi was the founding editor-in-chief of The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine: Research on Paradigm, Practice and Policy, CAM’s first scholarly journal.[4] He also organized and edited the first US textbook in his field, Fundamentals of Complementary & Alternative Medicine, which was published in 1996.[4][7] The fourth edition of the textbook was published in 2011.[4][7]

Early life and education[]

Micozzi attained his medical degree at the University of Pennsylvania in 1979.[5][8] He completed his residency in anatomic pathology at Pennsylvania Hospital in 1983.[5][8] Micozzi then completed a fellowship in Forensic Pathology at the University of Miami in 1984.[5][8] Dr. Micozzi also received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1984.[5][8]

In 1986, Micozzi was appointed as associate director of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and founding director of the National Museum of Health and Medicine.[4]

Micozzi founded the Policy Institute for Integrative Medicine located in Bethesda, Maryland, and served there from 2002-2005.[4] He also served as the founding director at the Thomas Jefferson University’s Center for Integrative Medicine in Philadelphia.[4]

Micozzi is an opponent of public healthcare and believes that in pre-WWII Germany it evolved into policies that were later judged to be Nazi war crimes, such as forced sterilization, forced abortion and euthanasia.[9]
