Before embarking on his professional journey, he earned his medical degree from the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in 1986, and completed his residency in internal medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center in 1990. Finally, he completed his fellowship in cardiovascular disease at the University of Michigan Medical Center in 1993.

Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the disorders of the heart, as well as some parts of the circulatory system. The field includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and electrophysiology. Cardiologists are doctors who diagnose, assess, and treat patients with diseases and defects of the heart and blood vessels (the cardiovascular system).
