Rachel Bethune, MD, is a second-year Complex Care Fellow at Boston Children’s Hospital and is completing a concurrent Fellowship in Bioethics at Harvard Medical School. She completed her Pediatrics residency at the University of Manitoba, Canada where she served as the President of the Professional Association of Residents and Interns of Manitoba (PARIM) and sat on the Board of the Resident Doctors of Canada. Her scholarly interests focus on the intersection of complex care and critical care, care coordination at transitions of care, and ethical decision-making for children with medical complexity.

Caroline Leahy, MD, has a longstanding commitment to caring for medically complex children, shaped by her undergraduate historical research on trisomy 21 and clinical research on autism and executive function in young children. She completed her pediatrics residency at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and is now an inpatient Pediatric Hospitalist, refining her skills in managing medically complex inpatients. Through the Complex Care Fellowship at Boston Children’s, she aims to expand her expertise to both inpatient and outpatient settings, deepen her understanding of integrated care models, and pursue research focused on improving the experience of medically complex patients and their families as they navigate the healthcare system.
