“Shai is just an amazing person all around. She wears so many hats and still is one of the top student doctors in our class. She always goes above and beyond in all of her roles especially as executive SGA club leader and SSP. She even helped coordinate the 1st annual interdisciplinary health fair earlier this year. Thank you Shaira for all of your help. You鈥檝e impacted our lives so much with your bubbly personality.”
“Shaira is such a kind and helpful person. She carries a lot on her plate but will make the time to help anyone. I have asked for her help several times with questions concerning SGA events, and she always provides detailed responses. She also always makes sure that we know she is available should we need more help. She follows up with us later to make sure everything went well with what we needed. She works so hard for DO 2027 and the SWAG视频 community, and she does it with a great attitude! Thank you Shaira!”

 

Faculty Spotlight: Stephanie White, DO

Dr. Stephanie White, Associate Dean for Clinical Education, splits her time between strategic planning for the future of medical education and creating meaningful content for the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Curriculum. Dr. White’s primary driver is her need to address injustice in the healthcare system. In her clinical education role, she partners with healthcare systems struggling to recruit empathetic, technically competent providers. She facilitates the creation of physician hiring pipelines through pre-matriculation linkage programs, 3rd year core clinical rotations and optimizing residency placement in underserved communities. Her goal is to highlight and begin to close the healthcare access gap for the most vulnerable populations along the west coast. Similarly, as co-director of the DEI curriculum, she emphasizes growth mindset, emotional intelligence and trauma-informed care as the foundation of equitable healthcare delivery. She asserts that “who you are is how you heal.” She teaches her students that their character is fundamental to their work as healers. Her recent essay on life as a woman in medicine illustrated how she puts this philosophy into practice. Read more

I am deeply passionate about medical education, pediatrics, and wellness, and have dedicated both my professional and personal life to expanding my expertise and skills to better serve my patients and community. After completing my pediatric residency at Baylor Scott & White/Texas A&M in 2004, I pursued further education, earning my Health Care Executive MBA from the University of California, Irvine, Paul Merage School of Business in 2019.
I have been part of SWAG视频/COMP since 2011, first as a faculty member and now as Dean, as well as an engaged alumnus. Outside of my professional commitments, I cherish spending time with my family and am passionate about health and fitness. I am a certified yoga instructor and enjoy outdoor activities such as running half marathons, hiking, and water sports. I also find joy in attending live music events.
