Marina Shaferman, MS, RPA-C, is a board-certified physician assistant and received her Masters of Physician Assistant Studies from the University of Nebraska College of Medicine in Omaha, NE, where she completed a clerkship in Cardiology. For seven years, Marina gained more experience as a physician assistant at the Lenox Hill Hospital Department of Interventional Cardiology, in New York City, including the 2 years recently as Supervising P.A. A native of Russia, Marina's grandmother was affected by heart disease from the early age of 40. At the time in Russia, there was little help for heart disease sufferers except medication. Marina and her family struggled to get her grandmother to America where she could have a heart bypass. Unfortunately, her grandmother passed away after her 3rd heart attack the day they received approval to travel to the United States. Very affected by this, Marina knew then she wanted to help people through the practice of medicine, especially Cardiology. The newest member of the Cardiology team, Marina is a fellow member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants and is fluent in Russian.
