Michelle A. Cretella, MD
Michelle A. Cretella, MD is a pediatrician, writer, researcher and speaker. She is the past executive director of the American College of Pediatricians and is the current co-chair of its Adolescent Sexuality Council. She is also a pediatrician spokesperson for the Catholic Medical Association and Advocates Protecting Children; she is a long-standing member of the Association for American Physicians and Surgeons, as well as a consultant to the Rhode Island Family Institute.
Dr. Cretella served on the Board of Directors of the American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) for 13 years beginning in 2005 prior to being hired as the ACPeds’ first Executive Director, a position she held from 2018 -2021. Dr. Cretella served as Vice President of the ACPeds from 2010 - 2014 and as President from 2014 - 2018. Prior to holding executive offices, she chaired the ACPeds Pediatric Psychosocial Committee, Adolescent Sexuality Committee and Scientific Policy Committee as a board member. In these roles she became one of the ACPeds chief researchers, writers and spokespersons on a host of pediatric issues, especially transgender belief in youth. Her article Gender Dysphoria in Children and Suppression of Debate was published in the 2016 summer issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons. Following an interview with Tucker Carlson, she became recognized as a leading physician critic of gender ideology in pediatrics. She contributed to the development of model legislation at the state and federal levels in three areas. These legislative successes include bills passed to 1) protect youth from sterilizing and otherwise harmful transgender interventions, 2) maintain fairness and safety in female sports, and 3) maintain accurate sex markers on legal documents. She has contributed to several amicus briefs for various pro-family and pro-life court cases at the state, federal and international levels. She has been consulted by Breitbart News, FRC, One News Now, Relevant Radio, FOX News and many others.
Dr. Cretella is a peer reviewer for three professional journals: the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, Issues in Law and Medicine, and the International Journal of Behavioural and Healthcare Research.
Dr. Cretella also serves on the Advisory Board for the Alliance for Therapeutic Choice and Scientific Integrity. And is a member of the international John Paul II Academy for Human Life and the Family.
Dr. Cretella received her medical degree in 1994 from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. She completed her internship and residency in pediatrics in 1997 at the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Hartford, Connecticut. She completed a fellowship in College Health through the University of Virginia in 1999. Dr. Cretella practiced pediatrics with a special interest in behavioral health from 1999-2012. She left clinical pediatric practice in 2012 to devote more time to her family and pro-life child advocacy. Dr. Cretella and her husband are the proud parents of four grown children.
