Kohar completed Medical School at the University of Vermont and then came to the west coast to complete residency in the Family and Community Residency Program at UCSF/SFGH.

I have subsequently held many positions at both academic medical centers as well as private practice settings and practiced full spectrum (including OB) family medicine for 20 years prior to returning to ZSFG and becoming Medical Director of the Adult Urgent Care. I enjoy direct patient care as well as teaching and mentoring learners of any kind. My career focus has been on implementation of miscarriage management and medication abortion in primary care settings.
