The career of Dr. Bunyad Haider at New Jersey Medical School spanned nearly five decades, beginning with his Cardiology fellowship in 1966 at the New Jersey College of Medicine and Dentistry at Martland Hospital. In 1967, Dr. Haider was appointed to the faculty as Instructor of Medicine, and in 1980 was promoted to full Professor of Medicine with tenure at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.

Over his career, Dr. Haider held numerous high-level positions within the Department of Medicine, serving as Interim Chair (2006-2012), Executive Vice Chair (1986-2002), and Acting Chair (1991-1992). He was the first Critical Care Medicine Division Director at NJMS and University Hospital (UH), where he established the Medicine and Cardiology Critical Care units. When serving as Co-Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (1976-1998), he and his colleagues performed New Jersey’s first angioplasty, and was pivotal in gaining state certification for Cardiothoracic Surgery for NJMS in 1989.

Dr. Bunyad Haider was awarded the Department’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012 in recognition of his decades of leadership, mentorship, and selfless commitment to the Department of Medicine and NJMS.


Message from the Chair


Marc Klapholz, MD
Like many of you, I had the distinct pleasure of working with Dr. Bunyad Haider, who was a great mentor and a close friend.

On behalf of the Department, it is an honor to establish this Faculty Development Fund, in Dr. Haider’s name, as a lasting tribute to a legacy that is highlighted by his devotion and decades long commitment to the growth and development of the faculty in the Department of Medicine. His tireless and generous mentorship paved the way for many to achieve successful lifelong careers in medicine. Dr. Haider’s enthusiastic engagement with individual faculty members was invaluable and established a new role model in recognizing the importance of mentorship to facilitate individual and collective growth across all the missions of New Jersey Medical School.

Dr. Haider would be proud of the Department of Medicine’s continued growth and commitment to excellence. In recent years, we have expanded our clinical and research programs in Primary Care, Cardiology, Critical Care, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Liver Transplantation, Infectious Diseases, Nephrology and Rheumatology, while investing in new technologies that allow us to provide cutting-edge care of the highest quality.

The establishment of this fund will serve as an enduring tribute to Dr. Haider and will provide continued critical support to the Faculty of the Department to insure their continued growth and success. Please join me in contributing to this most important Faculty Development Fund in memory of our colleague, mentor and friend, Dr. Bunyad Haider.
