I was born in Karnataka state of India, but grew up in Staten Island, New York, United States of America.
I earned a Bachelor of Science (BS) undergraduate degree in Computer Science Engineering from Columbia University in 1993. I then received my Doctorate in Medicine (MD) from St. George's University School of Medicine in Grenada in 1997.
I got married a few months before I started my medical residency, in 1998.
I finished my residency in New York (2001), passed the American Board of Internal Medicine, and am completing a fellowship in cardiovascular disease in 2004. In July of 2004 I am starting a fellowship in interventional cardiology.

Make "gold standard" link to somewhere other than gold standard, since that's obviously not what we mean in the context of medicine. Maybe something like Gold standard in medicine, or something like that.The page will eventuallyDefine what a gold standard test is- Define how a gold standard is established
Explain why the gold standard test is not always the test ordered- Define how a test can be better than the gold standard
- Define how a new gold standard test is established
Give some examples of gold standard tests, and maybe an example of how a gold standard was changed- How it got the name, with a link back to gold standard.
Change the link on ARVD to the new Gold standard (test) page.
