Dr. Nanda has a longstanding interest and commitment to global health, having served as a global impact fellow in Ghana, where he performed retina surgery for patients living in poverty. Over the years he’s led medical mission trips to Israel, Mexico, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic. He currently serves as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine at the Frank H. Netter school of medicine at Quinnipiac University, and as a committee member for the New England Ophthalmologic Society and Connecticut Society of Eye Physicians.
