Irina Sheynman, RCP, RRT, a Respiratory Care Practitioner with California Pacific Medical Center
Get to know Respiratory Care Practitioner Irina Sheynman, who serves patients in California.
A highly qualified respiratory care practitioner, Irina loves saving lives, treating and helping individuals get better on a daily basis.
Currently, she serves as the Clinical Coordinator of Pulmonary Rehabilitation at California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC), helping patients to get better with their breathing, physical strengthening, and daily life routines.
Working as an inpatient practitioner saving lives and treating patients of all ages and populations, Irina has always wondered how come individuals do not have that proper transition set up that chronic patients need after they get released from the hospital. They do go home to continue getting better, but they still need care, they still need some or certain guidelines to get better.
For this reason, she proposed the idea to open a Pulmonary Rehab in CPMC to the Administration back in 2014, which was accepted right away because a hospital like that definitely needed that and the patients were in need of that. She created the entire program and its department from scratch, having been a head of the department as a Clinical Coordinator since then.
The department has grown bigger and now is the biggest rehab in the region. When they faced the severity of COVID-19, they closed for 3 months, but Irina was able to make proper adjustments and make a proper setting with new COVID protocol restrictions at the rehab. The patients were able to come and continue their therapy, recover, and get back to their normal life routines.
Graduating with her high school diploma from Hebrew Academy of San Francisco in 1998, Irina went on to earn her Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Sports from San Francisco State University in 2004.
Furthering her education, she completed her Associate’s degree in Respiratory Care Therapy/Therapist at Skyline College in 2006. She then earned both her Bachelor’s degree in Health/Health Care Administration/Management and her Master of Business Administration degree in Executive Management from Frederick Taylor University in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Through the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC), Irina became a Certified Educator in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in 2014. She then obtained her Certification In Pulmonary Rehabilitation and her Certification as an Educator in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Diseases in 2018 by the AARC.
Among her professional affiliations, she is an active member of the American Association for Respiratory Care, the California Society for Respiratory Care, and the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation.
Respiratory therapy is best described as the assessment and treatment of patients with both acute and chronic dysfunction of the cardiopulmonary system. The respiratory care practitioner’s (RCP) responsibilities include diagnosing and treating chronic respiratory diseases, prescribing medications, and advising patients on the management of their illnesses.
A multilingual professional, Irina speaks English, Russian, and Ukrainian.
