He was a staff physician at the University Health Service of the University of Rochester from 1994-98, also serving as a clinical senior instructor and clinical assistant professor of medicine there.

From 1999-2002 he served on the editorial review board for a health and wellness magazine published by Rodale Press in partnership with the American College Health Association.

Last year, Dr. Egelman was named by The Saratogian newspaper to the “20 under 40” list of “movers and shakers” in the Saratoga region for his accomplishments at Skidmore College.
