Dr. Jauhar joined the faculty at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in July 2004 with a concurrent appointment as Assistant Professor of Medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He writes regularly about medicine and cardiology for The New York Times and the New England Journal of Medicine, and has appeared frequently on television and radio. He is the recipient of a 2004 SAJA (South Asian Journalists Association) Special Recognition Award for outstanding stories about medicine, as well as a finalist for a 2008 SAJA Journalism Award for outstanding commentary.

It has been widely praised for its vivid and exciting portrayal of  a side to modern medicine that few people truly know.
