She completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of California in San Francisco where she received awards for teaching and the faculty award for outstanding research in women’s health.

Whether it’s through research, writing, or an active social media presence, Dr. Shahine is dedicated to teaching, advocating for patient care, and shattering stigma around fertility and miscarriage.

As a clinical assistant professor at the University of Washington, Dr. Shahine continues to teach the next generation of women’s health providers and contribute to the field with research.

Dr. Shahine lives in Seattle with her husband and children and enjoys travel, skiing, camping, great food and time spent with friends and family.

“I have always enjoyed teaching as a part of role as a physician. I want my patients to understand what we are doing with treatments – it’s an exciting way for the patient to participate in their own care.”
