Dr. Rubinstein obtained her Medical Doctorate and Master of Science in Clinical Research Methods at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. After completing her residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr. Rubinstein went on to complete her fellowship training in Pediatric Rheumatology at Children's Hospital at Montefiore in 2016.

Dr. Rubinstein has authored numerous publications and continues to actively propose new lines of research with hopes to improve the mental health and SLE disease outcomes in youth. She is an active member of the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) and a leader of the CARRA Mental Health Workgroup.
