You go on to earn your medical degree from the University of Missouri鈥怟ansas City 6 year BA/MD program, complete your radiology residency at St. Francis Medical Center and the University of Pittsburgh, and finish fellowships in Diagnostic Radiology and then Interventional Neuroradiology at Stanford University.
