Biography Oksana Hamidi, D.O., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center and a member of the Division of Endocrinology. With clinical and research expertise in adrenal and pituitary disorders and endocrine neoplasia syndromes, her academic work centers on the advancement of diagnosis and management of adrenal insufficiency, endocrine neoplasia syndromes, and hormone excess disorders, including Cushing syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes, and adrenal cortical carcinoma. Originally from Ukraine, Dr. Hamidi holds a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Illinois-Chicago. She earned her medical degree at the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed internal medicine residency training at Rush University Medical Center and John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County in Chicago. She then obtained advanced training through a fellowship in endocrinology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism, Dr. Hamidi joined the UT Southwestern faculty in 2018. Dr. Hamidi's clinical research focuses on improving outcomes in Cushing syndrome, primary aldosteronism, congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), adrenal insufficiency, pheochromocytoma, and adrenal tumors. She leads multiple clinical trials as a site principal investigator, including investigator-initiated and industry-sponsored studies, aimed at developing novel therapeutic approaches and refining diagnostic strategies for patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion, Cushing syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and primary aldosteronism. She is also engaged in translational efforts to bring research findings into everyday endocrine practice. Dr. Hamidi is actively involved in national leadership through her service on several committees for the Endocrine Society and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE). Her committee work includes guideline development, scientific programming, and education. She has been an invited speaker at national and international conferences and routinely gives talks on the clinical management and research advances in adrenal and pituitary disease. At UT Southwestern, Dr. Hamidi is deeply committed to patient care, clinical research, and education. She mentors medical students, residents, endocrine fellows, and junior faculty—fostering the next generation of clinician-scientists in endocrinology. Personal Note When not seeing patients or conducting research, Dr. Hamidi enjoys spending time with her family, exercising, cooking, and hiking.
