Shawna Chagoury

Dr. Shawna Chagoury is a board-certified internal medicine physician and hospitalist with a particular interest in oncology hospitalist medicine, addiction medicine, and integrative medicine. She earned her medical degree from the University of Arizona College of Medicine, completed her Internal Medicine residency at UCLA, and became board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in 2023. Her current practice spans both inpatient and outpatient care.

Since 2022, Dr. Chagoury has served as an Assistant Professor of Medicine at UCLA’s Santa Monica and Ronald Reagan Hospitals, working as a nocturnist for patients on Solid Oncology, Hematologic Malignancies, and Bone Marrow Transplant services; in 2024 she was named Lead Hospitalist for Oncology Nocturnist Services, helping shape hospitalist practices and develop training for the overnight care of oncology patients. She was first introduced to Addiction Medicine as a medical student, through volunteer work with an outpatient rehabilitation program — an experience that sparked a lasting interest in the integrative, team-based care this population requires. She continues that work today as IMS Physician and Associate Medical Director for The Recovery Doctor, overseeing medical services at partnered behavioral healthcare facilities.
