Specialty Spotlight: Dr. Gail Gutman, Pediatrics, Adolescent Fellow
Dr. Gutman is a board-certified pediatrician, and currently a second year fellow in adolescent medicine at Cohen Children’s Medical Center. Her clinical interests include eating disorders, pediatric gynecology and promoting healthy habits in teenagers. Her research currently focuses on the change in the quality and outcome of eating disorders on patients that presented during the Covid-19 pandemic. Dr. Gutman served for 2 years as the co-chair of JOWMA’s Teen Health Committee, and continues to stay active on the committee.
Dr. Gutman originally earned her Bachelors of Arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she majored in English literature. She completed post baccalaureate premedical program and went to medical school at Tel Aviv University. She then went to Jacobi Medical Center for a residency in pediatrics, where her research focused on sickle cell disease—back in those days, she believed she would specialize in pediatric hematology/oncology. In the middle of residency, Dr. Gutman realized that adolescent medicine was more enjoyable and rewarding than anything she’d experienced in residency so far. She quickly knew it was the field for her.
