He went on to complete his medical internship, residency in internal medicine, and fellowship in general cardiology at the University of Kansas in Kansas City in 2001, completing his final year of training in interventional cardiology with a private group doing business as Iowa Heart, P.A. at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines, Iowa.
