A Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, Dr. Goswami received his medical degree from the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine, Sint Maarten, Netherlands Antilles. He then went on to complete his residency in internal medicine at Stamford Hospital/Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in Stamford, Connecticut, where he was Chief Resident. 

During his time at Stamford Hospital, he developed and implemented a resident education system to help improve resident knowledge, patient care, and patient outcomes. He then completed a fellowship in cardiovascular diseases at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, Tennessee, followed by a fellowship in advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine & Science in Jacksonville.

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. Heart failure and transplant cardiology represents advanced training in cardiovascular disease and focuses on the management of advanced or complicated heart failure beyond the scope of what is usually provided by general internists and general cardiologists. Cardiologists are doctors who diagnose, assess, and treat patients with diseases and defects of the heart and blood vessels (the cardiovascular system).

On a more personal note, Dr. Goswami is an avid mountaineer. He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with his father in 2016.
