There he worked as an assistant to the First Internal Clinic and then Head of the Second Internal Clinic and as a full-time university professor until 1947. He was especially engaged in physical diagnostics, cardiology and hematology. He prepared an atlas for clinical microscopy, wrote several internal medicine manuals that used several generations of Central European physicians, and laid down simple rules that have long been the basis of treatment for heart and blood vessel diseases. He advocated the opening of the School of Medicine in Zagreb, but in 1935 he rejected the invitation to take over the presidency of the Zagreb Internal Clinic.
