Raj Uttamchandani, MD, FACP

Dr. Raj B. Uttamchandani graduated with a Doctor of Medicine degree (MD) from the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines.  He then finished a 6 month stint as a rural health physician in the town of Buenavista, Guimaras Island, followed by a year of rotating medical internship and another year of residency in Internal Medicine at the Makati Medical Center, Makati, Philippines.  His North American experience started soon after as a pediatric resident at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, followed by an internal medicine residency at the St. Louis University Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, then finishing at the Cabrini Medical Center (New York Medical College) in New York City.  This latter rotation is where he became infatuated with the specialty of Infectious Diseases which lead to a two year fellowship in Infectious Diseases followed by a year of clinical research fellowship in Special Immunology at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital.  This experience sealed his fate leading to his immersion into and the dedication to HIV medicine.

Dr. Uttamchandani joined the Faculty of Internal Medicine, division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Miami/Jackson Medical Center where he was a participant/co-investigator to hallmark, early HIV treatment trials and co-authored or authored several key publications in the field.  He was medical director of a novel, dedicated HIV treatment unit.  Since leaving the University, he has continued to care for patients with HIV in the inpatient and outpatient setting and remains committed to continue the same.

Dr. Uttamchandani currently has Active staff privileges at Jackson South Community Hospital and Baptist Hospital of Miami.
