Dr. Poletti received his undergraduate degree in chemical engineering from MIT in Cambridge, MA. He then served as an officer in the U.S. Navy on active duty for four years. During that service, he was on the nuclear engineering staff at the headquarters of the Naval Nuclear Power Program. After his Navy service, Dr. Poletti enrolled in medical school at MCV. While at MCV, he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha and Phi Kappa Phi Honor Societies.
After medical school, Dr. Poletti did a residency in general surgery at MCV. During this residency, he received a National Institute of Health (NIH) two year grant to pursue basic science research in novel medications to control blood clotting, publishing several basic science papers and abstracts. He completed his general surgery training in 2000. Dr. Poletti then went to Vanderbilt University to pursue further study as a fellow in the field of vascular surgery, completing this fellowship in 2001.
