Third Year Fellow

Elena Galindo, M.D.
Elena is originally from South Carolina. She went to medical school in Louisville, KY and then completed pediatric residency at University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, MN. Her areas of interest in adolescent are reproductive justice, reproductive health, gender care, and advocating for youth, especially minority youth. In her free time, she enjoys going hiking and camping (like…in a tent) with her husband, traveling, yoga, keeping monstera deliciosa alive, and exploring all the local markets. Elena's current research project is analyzing possible missed opportunities to provide adolescent specific health care to youth admitted inpatient in the hospital. This research project is a good representation of who she considers herself to be as a provider as it allowed her to evaluate health care access, equity, and race.
