Dr. Shah has over 25 years of distinguished experience in the fields of health care, biotechnology, and strategic business development, bolstered by his B.S. in Aeronautical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and his Doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine from Midwestern University. Before medical school, Dr. Shah started as a systems analyst for JPL/NASA and then worked as a managing director for Ramblax and Co., an investment-banking boutique, where he was closely involved in business development strategies for mobile telecom startups. He subsequently worked in biomedical product design and pharmaceutical packaging operations with Becton Dickinson Company. Upon completing his medical training specializing in Emergency Medicine and Family Practice, Dr. Shah went on to provide clinical health care at several outpatient and emergency room facilities in Illinois, Indiana, and Arizona. He also served as a consultant at CIGNA Healthcare where he was involved in cost containment for high-end patient utilization and staff turnover reduction. After receiving additional training in wound management and board certification in hyperbaric medicine, Dr. Shah co-implemented one of the largest wound-care /hyperbaric clinical delivery models in the U.S., and he continues to work in several advisory roles for hospitals, startups, pharmaceutical/medical device companies, and legal firms. Although he sold his medical group to the publicly-traded company Team Health (later acquired by Blackstone Group), he remains as the medical director for the Advanced Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Center at a level I trauma center in Phoenix, AZ.
