Erika (Gaby) Cordova Ramos, MD is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Boston University School of Medicine and a clinical neonatologist at Boston Medical Center.

Specifically, she investigates the impact of perinatal social care interventions on caregiving practices such as breastfeeding, safe sleep, and skin-to-skin contact, as well as family engagement in the NICU. Currently, she also co-leads multi-site quality improvement initiatives targeting social determinants of health in the NICU.
