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]
