In addition, he served as Physician-in-Chief at Boston Medical Center.
Loscalzo's July 1 start marks his return to Francis Street. He completed his clinical training at BWH and served as resident and chief resident in Medicine and as a fellow in Cardiology. He became a staff cardiologist in 1984 and remained at BWH until 1993.
