Oshmyansky attended the University of Colorado Boulder, graduating at the age of 18 and majoring in biochemistry. He then attended Duke University for medicine. He also completed a DPhil (PhD) in mathematics at St. Cross College, University of Oxford as a Marshall Scholar.

He completed a surgical internship at Harvard Medical School / Brigham and Women’s Hospital and then a residency in diagnostic radiology followed by a pediatric radiology fellowship at Johns Hopkins Hospital. While in residency, he attended night school at UB School of Law for the 2013–2014 school year out of personal interest.
