Professor and Chief, Solid Organ Transplantation
University of Cincinnati College of Medicine
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
As an academic multi-organ transplant and hepatobiliary surgeon with a special interest in health services research at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Dr. Shimul Shah has strived for clinical excellence, innovation and scholarship in the surgical arena. Dr. Shah has a very busy clinical practice in hepatobiliary surgery and liver transplantation specializing in the care of patients with end-stage liver disease, colorectal cancer metastases, biliary disorders and hepatocellular carcinoma. The UCMC liver transplant volume has grown four-fold since his arrival in late 2012, and the multidisciplinary program has fostered increased clinical productivity in many different departments at UC Health. Finally, through his efforts to provide meticulous clinical care combined with the utmost in customer service for his patients, he was named the first recipient of the James and Catherine Orr Endowed Chair in Liver Transplantation.
In the research arena, Dr. Shah has made contributions to the understanding and management of liver transplantation and hepatobiliary surgery as it relates to surgical outcomes and authored or co-authored nearly 220 publications and 20 book chapters. Since being in Cincinnati, Dr. Shah initiated and currently directs the Cincinnati Research in Outcomes and Safety in Surgery (CROSS), a multidisciplinary group focused on health services research that has grown to include six surgical faculty. His group has developed a tele-medical home program for post-liver transplantation patients and published the first pilot program demonstrating its utility and feasibility. He initiated a randomized controlled trial to assess the clinical effectiveness of telehealth versus standard of care which was the first of its kind in surgery and transplantation and has the potential to change the way patients are cared for after major surgery.
