About me
Hello my name is Renata L. Shih, MD and I am board-certified in general pediatrics and pediatric cardiology. I received my medical degree from Faculdade Ciencias Medicas Santa Casa de Sao Paulo in Brazil. I completed my pediatric residency at the University of Sao Paulo Children’s Institute and my pediatric cardiology fellowship at the University of Sao Paulo Heart Institute (InCor). I also completed a pediatric residency and pediatric cardiology fellowship at the University of Florida College of Medicine.
I joined the UF Health Congenital Heart Center in 2013 after completing my pediatric cardiology fellowship at University of Florida with a focus in pediatric heart transplant, pulmonary hypertension and heart failure. Before moving to United States, I worked in pediatric intensive care at Santa Catarina Hospital, Sao Camilo Hospital and Cruzeiro do Sul Hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
At UF Health, I am also part of outreach at the pediatric cardiology clinic and participate in a multidisciplinary muscular dystrophy clinic. Additionally, three other authors and myself received The Langley Journal Award for best paper published in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analagesia for the article, “Determination of cardiac output by ultrasound velocity dilution in normovolemia and hypovolemia in dogs.”
