Sidney Burwell Professor of Medicine, Chief, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, and Physician in Chief of the Vanderbilt Heart and Vascular Institute at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, in Nashville, Tennessee. I earned his medical degree from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School and trained in internal medicine at Parkland Memorial Hospital, Dallas, where I was also a Chief Medical Resident under Dr. Donald Seldin. I trained in cardiology as a fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and completed additional post-doctoral training at the Center for Thrombosis and Vascular Research, University of Leuven, Belgium. I am a fellow of the American College of Cardiology and the Councils for High Blood Pressure Research and Atherosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology of the American Heart Association.
