Philip F. Cohen

Philip F. Cohen (born September 3, 1950) is a Canadian clinical director of Nuclear Medicine working out of the Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver, British Columbia. As a nuclear medicine physician, he is a pioneer in the usage of 3-D imaging techniques to improve diagnosis of bone disease and injury in collaboration with the Medical Imaging Research Group at University of British Columbia. Furthermore, Cohen has been involved in clinical research trials of new radiopharmaceuticals. To that effect, Cohen was the first recipient of a research grant from the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation, one of several peer-reviewed awards that would follow.

Cohen was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the eldest son of community builders and philanthropists, Harry B. Cohen and Martha Cohen who, by their very own example, taught him the imperatives of community service and pursuit of humanitarian ideals.

Cohen graduated Summa Cum Laude in 1972 from Dartmouth College, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and majored in Economics. He completed his medical degree at the University of Toronto and his internship at Holy Cross Hospital in Calgary. Cohen trained in Internal Medicine at the University of Calgary, then went on to study radiology and obtain his Nuclear Medicine Residency at the University of Western Ontario; there he obtained certification as a Specialist in Nuclear Medicine from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the American Board of Nuclear Medicine. He has been the Division Head of Nuclear Medicine at Lions Gate Hospital since 1983 and was appointed in 2010 to be Clinical Professor of Radiology at University of British Columbia.
