After two years in private practice, Dr. Wartenberg returned to a faculty fellowship at the Medical College of Wisconsin as a career teacher in alcohol and substance abuse. The doctor is board-certified in addiction medicine by the American Board of Addiction Medicine (ABAM), assuring the American public that addiction-medicine physicians have the knowledge and skills to prevent, recognize, and treat addiction. He is also board-certified in internal medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led non-profit independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.

Dr. Wartenberg is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP) and a Distinguished Fellow of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (DFASAM). He is also an affiliated faculty member at the Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies at Brown University in Providence.
