Pediatric Nurse Practitioner
Adolescent Medicine, Boston Children’s Hospital, Boston MA, Massachusetts
Rachel Ghosh is a board certified Pediatric & Adolescent Nurse Practitioner who is also board certified as a Pediatric Mental Health Specialist. She is now a Nurse Practitioner with Boston Children's Adolescent Medicine, helping to care for youth within the Department of Youth Services, as well as caring for medically complex children at Franciscan Children's Hospital.
She enjoys clinical practice as well as program development and care coordination and especially loves to serve those with fewer resources. She recently was the Lead ARNP at the Children and Family Justice Center in King County, WA (the local juvenile detention facility). It was here that Rachel initiated an updated and more holistic substance use withdrawal and disorder protocol, became X-waivered in order to provide prescriptions for Opioid Use Disorder, and implemented a Quality Improvement project around opioid use in youth who become detained, which was accepted as an abstract by the Society of Adolescent Health and Medicine (SAHM). She enjoys collaborating with her colleagues of all backgrounds and really loves working with youth who find themselves within the juvenile justice system.
