After graduating with his medical degree from University Medical College in Amritsar, Dr. Mehra remained in India for training at Victoria Jubilee Medical College Hospital. He then moved to Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center for his residency in Internal Medicine, where he served as Chief Resident in his final year.

With his board certifications in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Disease, Critical Care Medicine, and Geriatrics, Dr. Mehra's clinical interests include sleep apnea, COPD, pneumonia, and lung cancer.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
