Dr. Lubinski, a geriatrician and medical education leader at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) in Boston, is dedicated to enhancing care for older adults and nurturing the next generation of physicians. Dr. Lubinski grew up in Baltimore, Maryland and obtained a dual degree in both Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Maryland, College Park. She attended the University of Maryland School of Medicine before moving to Boston for internal medicine residency at BIDMC. Following residency, she completed  a fellowship in geriatrics at the Harvard Medical School Multicampus Geriatric Fellowship program.

Throughout her training, she has been repeatedly recognized for her clinical excellence and devotion to patient care. In medical school, she received the Leonard M. Hummel Memorial Award for Excellence in Internal Medicine and was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society.  During residency, her dedication to patient care and teaching led to her selection as a Chief Medical Resident. She was also presented with the Katherine Swan Ginsburg Award for recognition of the house officer who most expresses the qualities of intelligence, dignity, courage and compassion.  And later as a geriatrics fellow, she was recognized yet again and earned the distinction of Outstanding Clinical Fellow, awarded to the fellow with outstanding performance in clinical, educational and scholarly pursuits.

Prior to fellowship, as a primary care resident, Dr. Lubinski developed an interest in delirium stemming from the multiple patients with persistent hospital delirium she saw in her primary care clinic. As her interest in the topic expanded, she began distinguish herself as a medical educator, teaching her peers about the identification and management of delirium in the outpatient setting.  During fellowship, while she developed additional interests including the use of telehealth in the care of older adults, she remained committed to improving the care of patients experiencing delirium. Now, as an academic geriatrician at BIDMC, Dr. Lubinski has brought together her interests by developing a new Post Hospitalization Delirium Clinic that offers in person and virtual visits for patients recently discharged from the hospital who experienced delirium. 

In addition to focusing on enhancing the care for these patients, she also strives to educate other physicians about the unique needs of older adults. As a illustration of her commitment to broadening her expertise in medical education and the knowledge of others, she was selected for the coveted Rabkin Fellowship in Medical Education. Through the fellowship, she is developing a curriculum for internal medicine residents regarding the care of older adults with delirium and dementia in the outpatient setting which includes an opportunity to rotate in the Post Hospitalization Delirium Clinic. As Director of Resident Geriatric Education at BIDMC, Dr. Lubinski nurtures compassionate physicians who appreciate the complexity of caring for older adults and embrace the profound privilege of caring for them.
