He then obtained his psychiatry residency training at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia. After residency, he completed a neuropsychiatry training fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1996. This fellowship was supported by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
