Sydney M. Schuerman, MPAS, PA-C

I am a physician assistant in pediatric emergency medicine, caring for children with a wide range of acute illnesses and injuries. My clinical interests include rapid assessment and stabilization, family-centered care, and working closely with the emergency medicine team to deliver high-quality care. I believe in listening closely to both patients and families and explaining things clearly, so everyone feels informed and supported. My goal is to be a calm, steady presence during stressful moments and to help children feel better and get back to being themselves as quickly as possible.

My journey to medicine began with my own experience as a patient at Cincinnati Children's, which inspired me to pursue a career in healthcare. During PA school, I completed a clinical rotation here, which confirmed my desire to join this team. Before PA school, I worked as a PCA on the hematology/oncology unit at Cincinnati Children's, where I saw firsthand the resilience of children and their families-an experience that continues to shape how I care for my patients today.

I am an NCCPA-certified physician assistant and a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA).

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, staying active with Pilates and Lagree, and taking long walks. I love spending time with my family and friends, and I'm also excited to welcome a new puppy soon. A fun fact about me is that I can say my ABCs backwards-a skill that often makes kiddos laugh and smile.
