Triple Dragon Viren Doshi is thriving in a field that combines all of three of his Drexel degrees. As corporate counsel and compliance officer at Silver Cross Health System in New Lenox, Illinois, he handles legal matters, contracts, governance, compliance issues, patient privacy — all with an eye toward a greater good.

Known as a collaborator, Doshi serves as a trusted advisor to clinical and operational leaders, translating complex legal and regulatory requirements into practical, mission‑driven solutions. "Starting in biological sciences and cancer research, I learned how much discipline it takes to earn reliable answers — and how easily people can talk past each other when they don’t share the same assumptions or definitions," he says. "As I moved deeper into health care and pursued a JD/MPH, I realized the most meaningful change happens when someone can translate between viewpoints: clinical urgency, operational realities, legal constraints and ethical obligations. Over time, I’ve made that translation role a core strength." His expertise has allowed him to shape conversations and outcomes far beyond his organization. He is the incoming chair of the Early Careers Professional Council at the American Health Law Association (AHLA), where he leads initiatives supporting emerging professionals in health law. He previously held leadership roles in AHLA’s Fraud and Abuse Practice Group, and served as chair of the Health Law Section of the South Asian Bar Association. He has lectured at Thomas Jefferson University, contributed to publications with Harvard Law School and the University of Pennsylvania, and co-authored a book chapter on patient safety. His Drexel experiences were key to getting him to where he is now, with the dual-degree program in law and public health helping to open professional doors. Professors Robert Field and Barry Furrow at the Thomas R. Kline School of Law helped him make contacts in the field, and Drexel’s co-op program and experiential learning approach empowered him to bring his career aspirations to life. “Drexel has extremely strong connections to help students get internships, co-ops and other experiential opportunities,” he affirms. “Without those opportunities, I would not have been able to get to where I am.”
