Since 1998, he has served as an Associate Cllinical Professor at Fordham University teaching Human Behavior in a Social Environment 1 and 2, Seminar in Clinical Social Work Practice, Clinical Social Work with LGBT individuals, and HIV/AIDS and Social Work.  Dr. Koch served as the Field Coordinator of the BASW program from 1998-2001 and has served as the Director of the undergraduate Social Work major since 2001.  Over the last ten years, he  has been the Project Director of the Fordham-HASA (HIV/AIDS Service Administration) Training Academy.  The academy provides ongoing training modules for case workers who work with those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS.  Specific research interests include minority stress and its effect on coping mechanisms and social support resources and clinical social work practice with transgender individuals.
