About Nathan

Hi, I'm Nathan Heller, I'm originally from the Riverdale section of the Bronx in New York City, though my medical training has had me bopping around. I received my BS in Biology from SUNY Oneonta. During this time I was as a teaching assistant in multiple biology classes, I received awards for research, and was voted the top senior in the Biology Department. I received my MD from Tel Aviv University in Israel. While in school I spent time as a peer mentor and tutor in multiple subjects, as well as the the USMLE exams. I returned to America to pursue my internal medicine residency at the University of Connecticut. While in residency I continued my passion for medical education and obtained a graduate certificate in Health Professions Education from the UConn Graduate School. Upon graduating residency, I became the Chief Resident in Internal Medicine at Yale New Haven Health-Greenwich Hospital. Here I continued my involvement in medical education, with formal and informal didactic sessions, medical simulation, ABIM review, and most importantly mentorship of the residents. I am currently in my gastroenterology fellowship at Rochester General Hospital. I continue to work alongside medical students and medical residents. When I am not in the hospital or coaching I enjoy yoga, working out, hiking, the NYT crossword puzzle, and live music
