Meet Your Doctors💫
From MSU College of Human Medicine student to pediatrician, public health scholar and community leader, Dr. Gurbaksh Esch has built her career around caring for children and making a difference well beyond the hospital walls.
A 2018 graduate of MSU College of Human Medicine and a former “Flintstone,” Dr. Esch completed her pediatric residency at Beaumont in Royal Oak, now Corewell Health East. Today, she serves as a pediatric hospitalist at Hurley Medical Center, caring for children and families throughout our community.
Her passion for public health led her to become the inaugural scholar of the Alice Hamilton Scholar Program through the Pediatric Public Health Initiative, led by Dr. Mona Hanna. During the two-year program, she earned her Master of Public Health through MSU College of Human Medicine.
Dr. Esch continues to expand her impact through education and community leadership. In May 2026, she was named director of the Leadership in Community and Public Health certificate program at MSU College of Human Medicine’s Flint Campus. And now, she is taking on another important leadership role as President-Elect of the Michigan Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
We’re proud to have Dr. Esch at Hurley, caring for our youngest patients while helping advance pediatric care, public health and the next generation of community leaders across Michigan.
