After receiving his bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and history from Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, where he played on the rugby team, he went on to obtain a masters degree in medical sciences at Boston University.

Dr. Nakashian has been active in research throughout his career, which has resulted in numerous publications in orthopaedic journals and textbooks.
