Sidra Medicine, Doha, Qatar — Department of Pediatrics.
This affiliation is independently confirmed by a 2026 peer-reviewed publication in Child Psychiatry and Human Development, which lists Amani Shaif among the authors under the Department of Pediatrics, Sidra Medicine, Doha, Qatar.
Publicly available sources provide limited biographical information about Dr. Shaif's education, medical degree, specialty certification, and exact clinical title. I would therefore avoid attributing a specific degree, fellowship, consultant grade, or subspecialty to her without an authoritative source.
What can be established from current sources is that she works within Sidra Medicine's pediatric department and participates in pediatric clinical/research activities. Her name appears in research involving Qatari children and adolescents, including a 2026 study examining clinical and social outcomes among youth with ADHD. In that study, her documented contribution was patient enrollment.
One of her recent documented research contributions is:
“Sex-Based Differences in Clinical and Social Outcomes in Qatari Youth with ADHD” — published in Child Psychiatry and Human Development on 26 February 2026. The study examined 131 Qatari young people aged 7–17 with confirmed ADHD, assessing clinical, academic and social outcomes. Dr. Shaif was part of the Sidra Medicine pediatric team and contributed to patient enrollment.
She was also a co-author on the 2025 research abstract:
“Identification of a Novel Biallelic METTL5 Variant Associated With Intellectual Disability and ADHD in a Consanguineous Qatari Population.”
The work was presented at EIP2025 in December 2025. The abstract lists Amani Shaif under Medical Education Department, Sidra Medicine, Doha, Qatar.
This indicates involvement in multidisciplinary pediatric research spanning neurodevelopment, genetics, ADHD and rare disease, in addition to her clinical pediatric activities.
Dr. Shaif is listed as faculty for the Qatar Pediatric Endocrine and Diabetes Conference (QPEDC 2026), organized by Sidra Medicine and scheduled for 27–28 November 2026 in Doha.
Her assigned topic is:
“When to refer a child with a thyroid disorder to an endocrine clinic.”
The topic sits within QPEDC's thyroid and endocrine-emergency module, which covers thyroid-function interpretation, referral criteria and recognition of pediatric endocrine conditions.
