Prior to dental school, he completed his Bachelor of Science at Quinnipiac University, where he played Division I soccer and earned numerous awards, including being named conference Offensive Player of the Year and Scholar All-American. Following dental school, Dr. Whelan pursued advanced specialty training through the Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics Residency Program at Temple University's Kornberg School of Dentistry, where he earned a Master of Science in Oral Health Sciences.
