Postgraduate Clinical Training
Neil accepted a surgical internship at Boston University Medical Center after completing medical school. This role exposed him to the pressure and pace of hospital work, where the stakes were high, and decisions had to be made quickly.

During his time there, he served as Director of Cardiac Anesthesia. He contributed to the company’s expansion by participating in new contract development and support initiatives beyond the state.
While clinical duties occupied most of his day, he also became involved in administrative planning. He observed the systems behind care delivery, including billing, scheduling, compliance, and communication between staff and management.
Entrepreneurship and Practice Management in New Jersey
