Sharon E Abramovitz, M.D. is a Clinical Associate Professor of Anesthesiology at Weill Cornell Medical College (Cornell University) with a dual appointment in Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology. She serves as Associate Attending Anesthesiologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and has directed the Obstetric Anesthesiology division since 2015 after previously serving as Co-Director (2004-2015). Board-certified in Anesthesiology, she specializes in obstetric anesthesia and provides care across ambulatory surgery, reproductive medicine, and GI endoscopy settings.
Her educational background includes:
- B.A. from Queens College, City University of New York (1990)
- M.D. from Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University (1994)
Dr. Abramovitz's research program centers on health disparities in maternal care, particularly racial/ethnic differences in severe maternal morbidity, postpartum readmissions, and cesarean delivery outcomes. She has pioneered studies on Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean (ERAC) protocols and their role in reducing disparities, while also investigating pain management preferences, anesthesia safety, and social determinants of health. Her clinical expertise extends to managing comorbidities like obstructive sleep apnea and opioid use disorder in obstetric populations.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2020-2025) reveals consistent focus on healthcare equity using multistate database analyses. Over 70% address racial disparities in maternal outcomes, with significant emphasis on ERAC protocol implementation (27% of publications). Key trends include examination of rural residence impacts (13%), social risk factors in readmissions (13%), and comorbidity management (20%), demonstrating her commitment to data-driven quality improvement in obstetric anesthesia.
Dr. Abramovitz contributes to hospital-wide quality and patient safety committees for both Anesthesiology and Obstetrics/Gynecology departments. While the available text provides no details about student advising or grant funding, her leadership roles and extensive publication record indicate active involvement in clinical education and departmental administration. She maintains clinical practice across multiple surgical settings while advancing research on equitable maternal healthcare delivery.
