Elizabeth Pinsky, MD, is a child and adolescent psychiatrist and pediatrician at Massachusetts General Hospital, where she is the Associate Director of the Pediatric Psychiatry Consultation Service, and at Shriner’s Hospital for Children Boston. She received her medical degree from Harvard Medical School and completed consecutive residencies in pediatrics and psychiatry followed by child psychiatry fellowship, all at MGH and MGH/McLean. Her clinical interests focus on the intersection of child mental and physical health, including childhood trauma associated with medical care and fostering resilience in medically ill children. Dr. Pinsky believes that climate change poses the most urgent threat to children at that intersection of physical and mental health, and that clinicians caring for children have a responsibility to advocate for a rapid and just transition off fossil fuels. She serves as the Associate Director for Advocacy at the Mass General Center for Environment and Health and is also a founding member of Climate Code Blue, a Boston-area climate action group for physicians and other health professionals.
