His work has received a number of honors, including a Paul B. Beeson Emerging Leaders in Aging award from the National Institute on Aging and recognition as the Outstanding Junior Investigator of the Year by the American Geriatrics Society. Clinically, Dr. Cohen serves as a primary care physician for the Home Based Primary Care program at VA Connecticut.
