Sprina Shen, DO

Dr. Sprina Shen is from southern California where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in General Biology from UCSD and her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Degree from Western University of Health Science COMP. She then completed her Pediatric Residency at Loma Linda Children’s Hospital, where her mentors and inpatient experiences inspired her to pursue a career in the field of pediatric hospitalist medicine.

After completing fellowship, she plans to work at an academic teaching hospital.
