As the Physician-in-Chief of the Oncology Service Line at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, he is responsible for the development, implementation, and administration of high-quality, value-based oncology care at the main campus and satellites. He works across departments to improve the multidisciplinary care of cancer patients.

Teaching students, he serves as a Professor within the Department of Medicine, Division of Medicine at the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine.

In regards to his educational background, Dr. Moskowitz graduated with his Bachelor of Science degree from Brooklyn College in 1980. He then went on to earn his medical degree from the Wayne State University School of Medicine in 1988.

Furthering his training, he performed his residency in internal medicine at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Moses and Weiler Campuses) in 1992, and his fellowship in hematology and medical oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in 1995.

Licensed to practice medicine in Florida and New York, the doctor is board-certified in medical oncology by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.

Practice-changing, Dr. Moskowitz’s research focuses on improving the outcomes of patients with poor-risk diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Hodgkin lymphoma. It has led to changes in the international standard of care for lymphoma patients.

One area of accomplishment has been to optimize high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation, as well as new agents, to improve “salvage” therapy for patients with disease that has returned or is not responding to standard therapy. His second area of accomplishment has been to develop strategies that optimize the treatment of newly diagnosed DLBCL patients, according to the likelihood of their disease recurring. These include designing risk-adapted therapies, based on risk factors present before treatment and also the results of imaging studies.

Hematology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study of the cause, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to blood. Oncology is a branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. A hematologist-oncologist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of cancer, malignant blood diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, and blood disorders such as iron-deficiency anemia, clotting abnormalities, hemophilia, and sickle-cell disease.
