Dr. Aviva Cohn is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Nutrition at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (Rutgers-RWJMS). She completed her medical school and internal medicine residency training at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson medical school. For her endocrinology fellowship, she went to Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School (Boston, MA), where she did research in the realm of women’s health and aging. Specifically, Dr. Cohn looked at the impact of menopausal sleep disruption and its impact on cortisol levels under the mentorship of Dr. Hadine Joffe and Dr. Ursula Kaiser. She continues to foster this interest clinically, with the development of a women’s health and endocrine clinic here at Rutgers- RWJMS.
