INDUSEM Pediatric Emergency Medicine Leader Dr. Binita R. Shah, MD, FAAP, was recently named The Distinguished Teaching Professor by the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center, New York, (SUNY DOWNSTATE) USA. Dr. Shah is a master clinician and Educator for over 3 decades at Downstate. Her range of knowledge has been called encyclopedic and she tirelessly delivers powerful presentations at local, national and international conferences. She has instructed and inspired thousands of residents, medical students, nurses, and allied health professionals. She was the first Pediatric Emergency Medicine board-certified physician in Brooklyn in 1992 and played a major role in creating Downstate’s first Emergency Medicine Residency program in 1995, and Pediatric Emergency Medicine fellowship in 2009. She is the first author on the highly acclaimed Atlases of Pediatric Clinical Diagnosis and Pediatric Emergency Medicine; both of which are extolled by leaders in the field as “classics … that no pediatric ED should be without.” Atlas of Pediatric Clinical Diagnosis is also translated into Portuguese and Atlas of Pediatric Emergency Medicine is also translated into Spanish. Aside from creating these indispensable teaching tools, she has published countless articles in peer-reviewed journals, disseminating her expertise in pediatric emergency medicine and even changing the way it is taught. Her students and colleagues unanimously revere her for her depth of insight, her leadership in her discipline, and her devotion to the human endeavor of teaching.(Source: Press Note by SUNY)

About SUNY DOWNSTATE:
Formally known as The State University of New York Health Science Center at Brooklyn—but better known to our patients and Brooklyn neighbors as SUNY Downstate Medical Center—we are older than the Brooklyn Bridge. We trace our roots back to 1860, when a school of medicine was founded at the Long Island College Hospital. The new college’s faculty revolutionized medical education in this country by bringing the teaching of medicine to the hospital bedside, thus rejecting the idea that physicians should be trained exclusively in university lecture halls. Today, SUNY Downstate is one of the nation’s leading urban medical centers. SUNY Downstate comprises a College of Medicine, College of Health Related Professions, College of Nursing, School of Graduate Studies, School of Public Health, and University Hospital of Brooklyn. The quality of our education, research, and patient care programs was confirmed with the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Medicine to Dr. Robert Furchgott, a member of our School of Graduate Studies faculty since 1956. Dr. Furchgott’s identification of nitric oxide as a signaling molecule important in vascular health has revolutionized care for heart, stroke, impotence, and other diseases.
