Dr. Dalmia's journey in medicine began early—he was accepted into an accelerated 8-year Honors BS/MD program in engineering & medicine at the Illinois Institute of Technology and Chicago Medical School, where he graduated with the highest academic distinction. During college, he was awarded a full-tuition Leadership Academy Scholarship for exhibiting outstanding leadership potential, trained in an intensive leadership development program, and graduated with a Certificate in Leadership Studies. He applied outside the program and attended the University of Michigan Medical School, where he was awarded the Dr. Edward G. Larsen Scholarship and the John Alexander Memorial Scholarship. This rigorous training instilled in him a deep curiosity about the intersection of science, technology, and patient care, a passion that continues to drive his work today.
After a transitional year where he was selected as Chief Resident, Dr. Dalmia completed his anesthesia residency at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School, where he not only gained extensive experience in critical care, pain management, and pediatric anesthesia but also distinguished himself as an educator, teaching anesthesia students in Ethiopia as part of a global health initiative. He was one of only 12 anesthesia residents nationwide to be awarded the SEA-HVO Fellowship, and first ever at BIDMC, to provide both OR and classroom teaching to Masters in Nurse Anesthesia students in Ethiopia for a month. He applied and was selected for one of 12 positions for the inaugural national ASA Policy Research Rotation in Political Affairs, with a focus on legislative and regulatory activities that affect the field of anesthesia.
Following residency, Dr. Dalmia pursued a highly competitive pediatric anesthesia fellowship at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where he further refined his expertise in caring for neonates, infants, and children undergoing complex surgical procedures. This included spending time in India as an Operation Smile Regan Leadership Fellow, performing and teaching pediatric anesthesia to anesthesiologists in Guwahati, India, at the Comprehensive Cleft Care Center (CCC).
As a Clinical Assistant Professor of Anesthesia at NYU Langone Medical Center, Dr. Dalmia played a pivotal role in training the next generation of anesthesiologists, mentoring over 200 residents and fellows while delivering high-quality care to thousands of pediatric and adult patients. His adaptability was exemplified during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when he transitioned into a critical care intensivist role, leading teams in NYC’s overwhelmed ICUs to manage the city’s sickest patients.
Beyond the operating room, Dr. Dalmia has built a unique career at the intersection of medicine, education, and business strategy. He served as the Business Development Lead for US Clinicians at AMBOSS, where he was instrumental in expanding digital medical education resources to thousands of clinicians nationwide and played a key role in the $9,000,000 acquisition of the NEJM Knowledge+ QBank. His ability to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and healthcare innovation has also made him a sought-after consultant, particularly in guiding international medical graduates through the complex U.S. residency process with an impressive >90% match rate success.
Dr. Dalmia’s approach to patient care is deeply rooted in connection and trust. Whether optimizing a child’s safety before surgery, helping an adult manage obesity through sustainable interventions, or mentoring medical trainees, he believes in meeting people where they are and empowering them with knowledge and confidence. His ability to balance high-stakes decision-making with genuine empathy sets him apart as a physician and a leader.
Beyond his work as a physician and mentor, Dr. Dalmia is a certified wine expert with an advanced Level 3 certification from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust and is currently pursuing a Level 4 Diploma in Wines. A strong advocate for youth mentorship, he serves on the Advisory Committee for The Door, NYC’s oldest youth-focused nonprofit. Additionally, his love for the performing arts has also been a lifelong passion, having taken the stage in 23 theater productions throughout high school, college, and medical school.
With a unique blend of clinical excellence, business acumen, and a deep appreciation for the human experience, Dr. Dalmia is committed to making a meaningful impact on his patients, colleagues, and the broader healthcare landscape.
