He then went on to further his education by completing a residency in internal medicine at the Staten Island University Hospital in 1989, and a fellowship in cardiovascular disease at the University of Connecticut Health Center in 1992.
Distinguished as a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (FACC), the doctor is board-certified in cardiovascular disease and internal medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).

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).
As a testament to his success, Dr. Kahan has been the recipient of the Top Doctor Award by Connecticut Magazine in 2021.
