Originally from India, Dr. Shah earned his medical degree from Smt. NHL Municipal Medical College, where he first developed an interest in cardiology. He later completed a Master of Public Health (MPH) at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, where he also conducted cardiovascular research.
