Overview

Alin Cheran, MD, graduated with honors from the University of Toronto during his undergraduate studies. He obtained his Doctor of Medicine from Ross University School of Medicine in Roseau, Dominica.

Sinai in Chicago and a fellowship in Cardiothoracic Surgery at Texas Heart Institute/Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
