Selin T. Sagalowsky, MD

As a pediatric emergency medicine specialist at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to children and their families. My passion for pediatric emergency medicine began during my medical school years, during which I was captivated by the dynamic environment of the emergency department. I am particularly drawn to the art of differential diagnosis, which allows me to apply medical knowledge to uncover the root cause of a child’s symptoms.

I specialize in treating critically ill children and those with complex underlying medical conditions. I have developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges these patients face. My role at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital allows me to collaborate with a diverse team of pediatric specialists, ensuring that our patients receive coordinated and seamless care. My commitment to patient- and family-centered care is reflected in the numerous grants and awards I have received for my work in improving communication and care practices in the emergency department.

Throughout my career, I have focused on both clinical care and medical education. As vice chair for education, scholarship, and academic development in the Ronald O. Perelman Center for Emergency Services, I oversee our department’s core residency program, nine fellowships, undergraduate medical education, mentorship programs, community education programs, and educational scholarship. My work with national organizations, such as the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, has been instrumental in developing standards for medical education and assessment.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a lifelong desire to be a pediatrician, and I am grateful to be part of the brilliant community at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. My educational background and extensive experience have equipped me to provide the highest level of care to my patients and to train the next generation of physicians.
