By 1969, he acquired a Doctor of Medicine, which provided him with a foundation off which to begin his career. After completing an internship with the General Hospital Corporation, he became a clinical fellow in medicine at Harvard University. In the years that followed, Dr. Borer perfected his skills as the chief resident physician at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, going on to become the Senior Fulbright Hays Scholar in the cardiac department at Guy’s Hospital in London. Later, he excelled as the Glorney-Raisbeck Fellow in the Medical Sciences at the New York Academy of Medicine, which preceded his return to Guy’s Hospital as a visiting fellow from 1974 until 1975.
Following the conclusion of Dr. Borer’s academic efforts, he upheld numerous esteemed positions in medicine. Broaching the industry as a clinical associate for the cardiology board at the National Heart and Lung Institute, he became a consultant in cardiology at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in 1978.
