Dr. Rameck Hunt was born like many other young men in Newark, New Jersey where the neighborhood either makes you or breaks you. Dr. Hunt found several obstacles on his path to success. Yet he was determined that by the end of his career there would be something positive to look back on. Dr. Hunt, just beginning his career already has a lot to look back on that he has accomplished. Having always had a gift for speaking, Dr. Hunt has become a master at telling a story. Similar to a reverend, when he speaks he speaks from past experience of lacking structure and direction in his own life. He recalls, “I was in a lot of trouble as a youngster because I had no course for my life. I made many mistakes but eventually learned from them and recognized what I needed to achieve; something different than what I was exposed to-determination and direction.” He found that direction in friends, Dr. George Jenkins and Dr. Sampson Davis. On their pursuit to becoming doctors, Rameck and friends learned to strategize and plan for the long term. Dr. Hunt loves telling his story and wholeheartedly accepts his chosen position as a role model. Contributing his success to not only determination but to the influence and guidance of others Dr. Hunt acknowledges, “My passion exists because others believed in me and if I can trigger that same passion in someone else then I’ll try my best to do just that”.
Dr. Hunt received his Bachelor of Science from Seton Hall University, his Doctor of Medicine from Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, and completed a residency in internal medicine at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. In 2015 Dr. Hunt also received the prestigious “Healthcare Professional of the Year Award” from the New Jersey Hospital Association. Today, Dr. Hunt is Board Certified both in internal medicine and obesity medicine and is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Dr. Hunt practices internal medicine at the University Medical Center at Princeton.
