FUN FACT

Playing baseball was a passion for Dr. Taniuchi until a knee injury induced him to concentrate more on a career in academic medicine. He selected interventional cardiology, as it required a combination of medical knowledge, decision making, and mechanical skills to treat patients. Transitioning to part-time clinical work allows him to mentor more students in the medical field.
