Biography

Shaida Khan, D.O., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at UT Southwestern Medical Center. She specializes in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating autoimmune peripheral neurological disorders and neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), peripheral neuropathy, inflammatory myopathies, muscular dystrophy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Dr. Khan earned her medical degree at the University of North Texas Health Science Center. She completed her neurology residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center, where she also gained advanced training through a fellowship in neuromuscular medicine.

Certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in neuromuscular medicine and neurology, she joined the UT Southwestern faculty in 2017.

Dr. Khan is the Medical Director of the Neurology Clinic at Parkland Memorial Hospital. She is a member of several hospital committees, including the Professional Staff Peer Review Oversight Committee and the Pharmacy and Therapeutics/Drug Utilization Review Committee. She also serves as a mentor for numerous quality improvement projects.

In the UTSW Department of Neurology, Dr. Khan serves on the Academic Awards and Recognition Committee, the Clinical Competency Committee for the Neurology Residency Program, and the Women’s Issues in Medicine Committee.

Dr. Khan’s research interests include myasthenia gravis and muscular dystrophy. She is the site investigator for several clinic trials for promising myasthenia gravis therapies. She was awarded a three-year grant from the Fichtenbaum Charitable Trust to improve the quality of care, education, and research in the myasthenia gravis population of Dallas County, and in 2021 she established the Myasthenia Gravis Clinic at Parkland.

She is a member of several professional societies and serves as Vice Chair of the American Academy of Neurology’s Women’s Issues in Neurology Section.

Dr. Khan has received numerous awards for her work as a clinician, educator, and investigator, including a training grant from the NIH for her investigations in Duchenne muscular dystrophy–associated cardiomyopathy and, for two consecutive years, UT Southwestern’s Trephined Cranium Teaching Award in recognition of outstanding teaching to the neurology resident trainees. In addition, she was elected by the medical students of UT Southwestern to the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society.
