Kandarp Shah

After medical school, Kandarp founded and sold a startup to address the physician burnout and chronic disease epidemic. During the COVID19 pandemic, he realized the missing piece in tackling this challenge: prioritizing prevention and population health. This sparked his interest in pursuing a Preventive Medicine Residency. To refine his skills in diagnosing and managing complex diseases, he completed an internship in Internal Medicine at San Joaquin General Hospital, California. Currently a PGY3 resident at UW-Madison, his clinical interests include metabolic syndrome, preventive cardiology, and lifestyle medicine. He also holds a keen interest in the intersection of digital health, corporate wellness, and health system innovation.

His long-term vision is to start his own practice and democratize prevention centric health care in America. Outside of residency, he enjoys cooking from the lens of food as medicine, meditation, sitting in a sauna, and learning about the medicinal properties of edible mushrooms.
