Katz is a voluntary clinical instructor in Internal Medicine. In 2005, he was appointed the associate director for nutrition science at the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale,[5] a position he no longer holds. Katz has authored over 100 scientific papers and written numerous newspaper and magazine articles, including a recurring column in O starting in March 2002, now discontinued. In 2000, Katz began advocating for integrative medicine when he founded the Integrative Medicine Center at Griffin. He has been a member of the governing board of the American College of Preventive Medicine since 2002, and has also been president of the Association of Teachers of Preventive Medicine since 2004.[6] Katz is a contributor and advisory board member for Naked Food Magazine.[7]
