Dr. Sarah Shihadeh is a Hospitalist and a Medical Director at Hackensack Meridian Health-Mountainside. She is a former Assistant Professor of Medicine at Mount Sinai Health System. Dr. Shihadeh’s first encounter with POCUS was at a refugee camp in Jordan, where as a resident with minimal Ultrasound Skills, she helped a nephrologist diagnose a child with Polycystic Kidney Disease, possibly saving her life. From that day onwards, Dr. Shihadeh dedicated all her free time to learn POCUS. After a few short years, she started teaching ultrasound at her institution and quickly earned a reputation for her excellent Ultrasound teaching skills. Dr. Shihadeh was the POCUS chair at the Mount Sinai Health System. Her work at that role secured a large budget to train the Hospitalist Division. She co-directed the MSH Ultrasound course and is still faculty at the course after her departure from Mt. Sinai. Dr. Shihadeh teaches ultrasound locally and internationally. She also runs a POCUS elective for IM residents. While Dr.Shihadeh does not believe POCUS will replace the stethoscope or the physical exam, she firmly believes that it improves patient care and reduces waste
