List of leadership and faculty
Anthony Shadiack, DO, FAMSSM, CAQ-Sports Medicine
Interim Program Director
Dr. Anthony Shadiack received his Osteopathic degree from the UMDNJ-School of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his Family Medicine residency and Primary Care Sports Medicine fellowship at Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School where he worked with two Division 1 college athletic programs. He was fortunate to work with a leader in the field of concussion, Dr. Margot Putukian.
He notes: “As the Interim Program Director of the Grand Strand Family Medicine residency, my goal is to help each resident become a leader within the field of Family Medicine. I truly believe in leading by example. I strive to promote scholarly activity among the residents and faculty. I regularly present Sport Medicine topics at the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine annual conference. I am a member of the Brain Injury Association of America whose aim is to improve care of concussions. I enjoy teaching during didactics and staffing. I regularly lecture on topics including Osteopathic Manipulation, Ultrasound and Sports Medicine. I want to ensure that our residents walk away from this residency with the ability to complete a thorough musculoskeletal exam and perform common musculoskeletal procedures. I pride myself on being a community physician, mentor, and innovative teacher. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my children, Anthony Jr. and Christopher, including playing baseball, going to the beach, and driving go Karts at Myrtle Beach Grand Prix. I also enjoy Scuba Diving and Surfing.”
Sean Gibbs, MD
Interim Associate Program Director
Dr. Gibbs comes to us via Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He earned his undergraduate degree at Pennsylvania State University and then went on to study medicine at Ohio State University. He returned home for his family medicine residency training at Crozer-Keystone before moving to Myrtle Beach almost 15 years ago.
He brings years of experience working both as an urgent care physician and as a hospitalist. Most recently he was the hospitalist medical director here at Grand Strand before his passion for teaching led him to transition over to GME and the family medicine residency program when it opened in 2017.
Outside of work, when he is not rooting for his Penn State Nittany Lions on the football field, he has been found boating during the summer months or playing in the local softball league with a handful of residents. Most recently, he has been spending a majority of his spare time with his baby boy. In his own words he writes, “In my years of practicing medicine, nothing has come close to being as rewarding as teaching our residents and watching them grow both professionally and as people.”
Sarah Puim, MD
Core Faculty
I graduated from our Family Medicine residency program and worked as a hospitalist for three years before joining as core faculty. I take great pride in teaching and mentoring residents as they develop their skills to become compassionate and effective family medicine physicians. I am passionate about contributing to the future of healthcare by helping shape the next generation of family physicians.
Nachi Datar, MD
Core Faculty
Originally from Vancouver, Canada, I completed my medical school at St. George's University in Grenada, and afterwards I pursued family medicine residency at Grand Strand Medical Center. Prior to joining the faculty, I worked as a Hospitalist at SSM Depaul Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri for 3 years before returning to the program I graduated from. During my residency years, I had a team of amazing mentors who trained and guided me, and now as faculty I hope to do the same for future residents. My areas of interest include hospitalist medicine & preventative care.
