27: Rahul Gosain: A Force of Brilliance

Send a textRahul Gosain’s is a story of generous grace, positivity, supreme accomplishment, and an attitude that would make a saint blush. Being a medical oncologist, he has no dearth of reasons to be very proud, but what he focuses on from his experience treating patients and seeing a sobering level of pain, is a determinedly down-to-earth attitude and a perspective that pervades his philosophy on life and people. Rahul is a practicing medical oncologist in Rochester, New York. Besides his clinical duties, he is also the Regional Infusion Director of Wilmot Cancer Institute overlooking 14 infusion sites. He is also a co-host of a podcast the “Oncology Brothers” with his brother Rohit (also a medical oncologist). He is a father to two young daughters. You’ll often hear him mention his wife Suparna who, in his words, is the person who keeps him grounded, sane, and is his best friend. In this interview, Rahul indulges me by reflecting on his sense of identity, how much his Indian heritage plays into it and how his time in Canada and the US modulated it. His aspirations as a parent drive a lot of his idealism, and his passion to be the best possible role model for his young children dictates the choices he makes, and is a big part of his own aspirations for the future. At the same time, Rahul also carries a strong sense of community and hopes to see the Indian American community keep finding touch-points and common ground to continue to inspire and raise one another up.
