Fellowship: The Cleveland Clinic
Current Practice Location: West side of Cleveland, Ohio, mainly Bon Secours Mercy Health, University Hospitals Elyria Medical Center, Mercy Allen, Specialty Hospital of Lorain, and University Hospital Avon Rehab Center. Dr. Sheth also has an outpatient practice in Lorain, Ohio.
Personal: I am a wife and the mother of two very animated young boys - ages 2 and 5. They are always listening to my hospital conversations and feel the need to interject their personal opinions during my patient calls. I love them to the moon and back.
Advice for a student aspiring to study medicine: Be teachable. Be grateful. Be kind. I am also a family person. It is VERY possible to find a healthy balance between home life and a solid career in medicine. Achieving that balance takes time and patience. It is important to take the time to take care of yourself: exercise, nourish yourselves, play hard, study hard, and every once in a while, stop, breathe, and re-evaluate the quality of your life. If it’s not working for you, don’t be afraid to change gears. This is not a failure. If you are overwhelmed, speak up, and seek help immediately.

Personal: I enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends. I love all types of food cuisines and enjoy trying to replicate them at home with my wife, Paulina. My wife and I try to travel when we can within the U.S. and internationally to learn further about different cultures. I also enjoy watching live sports such as football, basketball, tennis, golf, and baseball.

Immediate family can coat a student if they are a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine and join them to help celebrate. It is a psychological contract that stresses the importance of compassionate care for the patient and professionalism and scientific proficiency. The ceremony symbolizes the trust between physician and patient, compassion, and the purity of the medical profession’s purpose.
