Medical Center. He is board certified in Sleep Medicine and Internal Medicine.
Dr. Cardosi completed his undergraduate training
cum laude and was invited into Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society and Phi Sigma Biological
Research Honor Society at Bucknell University, where he also conducted
molecular biology research in the lab of John Tonzetich, PhD, creating
a genomic library of
Drosophilia hydei and carrying out subsequent experiments to identify and characterize telomeric
DNA sequences.
He received his MD Degree at Dartmouth Medical School. During his medical
training, Dr. Cardosi also provided emergency medical care as a member
of the ski patrol and was awarded two Dartmouth-Norris Cotton Cancer Center
student research grants to conduct molecular biology research in the lab
of Dr. Lloyd Kasper, where he screened
Toxoplasma gondii cDNA library with human and animal antisera to isolate genetic sequences coding
for antigenic peptides.

Science University, where he also served as medicine chief resident and
