About Dr. John C. Umhau

This website is supported as a public service by my medical practice. My internet practice is devoted entirely to the treatment of alcohol use disorder.

 

My interest in alcohol use disorder began at Johns Hopkins University during my residency in Clinical Preventive Medicine.  There, I was introduced to Alcoholics Anonymous, an introduction which proved invaluable to later work with the homeless in Washington D.C.  I completed a MD at Wake Forest University, a MPH at Johns Hopkins and a BS at Davidson College and am certified by the American Board of Addiction Medicine and the American Board of Preventive Medicine.  My credentials are detailed here.

 

For more than twenty years, I was a Senior Clinical Investigator at the  National Institutes of Health where I conducted numerous research studies to learn more about the brain, nutrition, and alcoholism.  My published articles on nutrition and human health are available here.
