Michelle Gorbonosov, MD

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. I attended The Macaulay Honors Program at Brooklyn College where I was able to combine my love for science, art, and dance. I studied Chemistry and Art History while dancing for the Macaulay Honors Competitive Bollywood Dance Team. I always knew I wanted to pursue a career in medicine and was able to continue my training at SUNY Upstate School of Medicine in Syracuse, NY. There, I developed my deep passion for academic medicine and caring for the underserved. Simultaneously, I continued my love for dance by joining the various dance opportunities in medical school, including the Bollywood Dance Night. During my third year, I saw how versatile family medicine was and realized it was the specialty for me! Through residency, I learned how much I loved Sports Medicine and caring for athletes. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, going to art museums, and eating lots of delicious food with my partner. I am excited to continue my journey at Rutgers-RWJ now as a Sports Medicine fellow and continue to work alongside the wonderful people here!
