If you are interviewing for residency &/or fellowship & want to improve women’s health, make sure you ask about whether faculty believe & advocate (AND vote) for training & access

This will speak to their real commitment to reproductive & maternal health

just want to say that in my 2nd pregnancy, I was healthy, low risk w/prior vaginal delivery

Near term, I had an unexpected stage III abruption

DIC. Hemoglobin <6

My doc, other docs on labor floor, all the nurses-they saved me & her

Grateful for being able to have that care

You still here? good 🙂

To advance women's health science, we MUST advocate (& do) fundamental & translational research to understand mechanisms of health & disease

Only by doing so can we pursue meaningful clinical trials to improve health for women across their lifespan

And more.

worth mentioning that sex-specific biology is a driver of health and disease across lifespan and yeah, we do not know enough about that either

So, put a stitch in it?!!?

Cerclages got started because clinically the cervix appeared to 'open' without cause.

You know what the pregnant cervix is?
an incredible organ that has distinct immune, molecular AND BIOMECHANICAL properties.

Ask me what a stitch does to those
