He completed a research internship at the Cleveland Clinic in the Center for Reproductive Medicine, during which time he worked on the now patented NextGen Home Banking system. He subsequently returned to The Ohio State University where he completed the combined MD MBA program. Dr. Singh did his general surgery residency at the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston TX prior to joining us at UPMC.

Why Pitt?

I chose Pitt due to its breadth and depth in surgical training as well as for its people. I felt an easy kinship with the attendings and residents and could appreciate the commitment everyone had to resident education. The opportunities to work in a system with diverse hospital settings mirrored that of my general surgery training and is a model that offers a unique mix of patient care. Being in a system as intricate as UPMC also allows me to continue working on system optimization projects which are an interest of mine.
