Rafi was born in Chicago, Illinois. He's proud to have grown up around the midwest and learned to drive in Miami, Florida. He received a B.S. in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale University in 2013 and pursued his MD and PhD at the University of Pennsylvania where he studied alveolar type II cells and aging. Rafi was part of a competitive salsa dancing club during his first year as a medical student and eventually calmed down when he met his beautiful wife, Carol Ann. Outside of the hospital, you will find him chasing after his two daughters (Anne and Monica) as they all explore Nashville together. Rafi is excited to be part of the Vanderbilt family as well as the Harrison Society.
