Charles M. Jobin, MD, specializes in treating shoulder and elbow disorders in adults, which includes rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, tendon and ligament injuries, arthritis and fractures. He is skilled at performing total joint replacements as well as minimally invasive, arthroscopic procedures. Dr. Jobin cares for local athletes and has provided orthopedic coverage for the Tournament of Champions – the world’s largest squash spectator event held annually in Grand Central Terminal. He is the team physician for Riverdale Country School and tends to the orthopedic needs of rugby, lacrosse, and club sports players at Columbia University. During his residency, he also provided coverage for Columbia University Athletics and City College of New York Athletics. Dr. Jobin’s research focuses on the optimization of shoulder replacement outcomes, rotator cuff repair, and tendon injuries. He has co-authored seven book chapters on a range of orthopedic topics and published articles in several of the top journals in his field, including the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, the American Journal of Sports Medicine, and the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. Dr. Jobin is a member of the International Society of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society, and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). In 2011, he was inducted into the AAOS Emerging Leaders Program. Inclusion in the prestigious Emerging Leaders Program denotes that an AAOS member is among “a highly select group of orthopaedists who are poised to impact the specialty now and in the future.”

After working for several years as a general pediatrician, I pursued specialized training in both pediatric sleep medicine and pediatric pulmonology. Experience in these three areas helps me understand how the entire body, particularly the respiratory system, is affected by a childs sleep. I enjoy practicing pediatric sleep medicine because treating sleep disorders helps a child function better during the day and improves quality of life for the entire family.As director of Columbia's Pediatric Sleep Disorders Center, I evaluate and treat children of all ages with sleep issues, which include trouble breathing in sleep, difficulties falling or staying asleep, excessive daytime sleepiness, and unusual behaviors in sleep. My particular interest is medically complex patients with sleep-related breathing disorders. Many of my patients have had sleep problems for months or even years before they come to medical attention.When I first see a sleep patient, I try to learn as much as possible about the childs sleep patterns and what might be interfering with their ability to get enough good quality sleep. I also want to understand how the sleep problem is affecting the childs daytime behavior, functioning, and mood. Many of my patients undergo a sleep study, which often uncovers the cause of the sleep issue. In the sleep lab, we use state-of-the-art equipment and try to make the patient and parent experience as comfortable as possible. We collaborate with pediatric providers from many specialties at Columbiasuch as ENT, craniofacial, neurology, obesity, and cardiologyto optimize each childs treatment plan.In addition to my clinical work with patients, I write and lecture extensively on childrens sleep disorders. I served on several committees for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, including the Standards of Practice Committee, where I helped develop severalguidelines for the practice of sleep medicine. My research has focused on identifying risk factors for sleep problems and evaluating methods to improve sleep in children.
