He trained at UC San Francisco Medical School, Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School, Boston University Medical Center, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

Dr. Marine has lectured widely on a variety of arrhythmia topics and has served as a co-director of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Cardiovascular Overview and Board Review Course for 10 years.
