Dr. Kamoga earned his medical degree in 2005 at Mbarara University of Science and Technology in Mbarara, Uganda. Following his relocation to the United States, he completed the internal medicine residency program at the University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio.

Internists are physicians specializing in internal medicine, a discipline focused on the care of adults emphasizing use of the best medical science available in caring for patients in the context of thoughtful, meaningful doctor-patient relationships as exemplified by the life and work of Sir William Osler, the “father” of internal medicine in the United States.

Hospital medicine is a medical specialty that exists in some countries as a branch of internal or family medicine, dealing with the care of acutely ill hospitalized patients. Physicians whose primary professional focus is caring for hospitalized patients only while they are in the hospital are called hospitalists.

Dr. Kamoga is a member of the American Association for Physician Leadership and the Society of Hospital Medicine and Fellow of the American College of Physicians.
