We promised you some wonderful new suprises this summer, and it is time to announce a special one:  The Florida Lung Doctors welcome a new doctor to the staff, Dr. Irtza Sherif, M.D., F.C.C.P.  This highly qualified physician graduated from St. George’s University School of Medicine in Grenada, West Indies.

He accomplished his internship and then served as Chief Resident of Internal Medicine at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center. His post graduate work featured a recently completed fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, also at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center.

Licensed in New Jersey and Florida, he is certified in both thoracic and internal medicine. He is a member of the finest professional medical societies: the American College of Chest Physicians, the American Thoracic Society, and the American College of Physicians.

The Doctor has generated many articles and presentations as part of numerous group research projects. His expertise in lung disease is highly evident in such works as “Quantitative Analysis of CT Images in Post Lung Transplant Patients,” and “Screening And Diagnosis Of Pulmonary Hypertension In Sickle Cell Disease Patients.”

These APS have been designed to assist health care professionals in medical testing. For example, one of his APS allows  health providers to utilize unique diagnostic formulas, guidelines, and statistics in reference to patients’ blood gases.
