There should be public outrage, frankly, over the fact that OB/GYN departments receive only 1% of NIH research funding. OB/GYN and our specialties provide the majority of care and surgery women receive in a lifetime, but ONE PERCENT of the research dollars. This is a crisis.

Abundant scientific evidence backs up the safety of mifepristone and that the REMS aren’t necessary. We’re calling for the Supreme Court to restore mifepristone access to avoid jeopardizing the health of patients across the United States. Read our brief: bit.ly/3L3FIDA

Long before Dobbs, people around the country struggled to access the abortion care they needed. Since Dobbs, things have gotten so much worse. Tomorrow, I will be sharing my experience with Senate as an OBGYN and abortion care giver in Georgia in this devastating legal landscape.

Conflicting court decisions on #mifepristone affect the scientific process and decision-making of the U.S. FDA. This JAMA viewpoint discusses the potential consequences of these decisions: ja.ma/41EWEpX

The ACOG PAC has given more than $1.25 million to anti-abortion access federal legislators over the last decade. Grateful to speak with rachael robertson at MedPage Today for this critical story. Original research article is open access at jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Our collaboration across The Warren Alpert Medical School Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine UMN Medicine led to this important work on the abortion policy position of federal legislators who received funding from ACOG's Ob-GynPAC in the past decade.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has given more than $1.25 million to support anti-abortion access federal legislators, 2012-2022, more than a third of ACOG's expenditures for House and Senate members. ja.ma/41Jr6iw

A new analysis shows that the U.S.’s largest professional organization of ob-gyns has spent a considerable amount of money in the last decade helping anti-abortion legislators get elected to Congress ti.me/40VJ6Fk

Here in Rhode Island, we will always protect a woman's right to choose and ensure equal access to these crucial health care services. I'm proud to sign the Equality in Abortion Coverage Act into law and include related funding in my budget proposal.

Nakita was a classmate of mine, and an inspiration to all those who knew and worked with her. She deserved better, and was working to improve the lives of all residents and trainees. RIP Dr. Nakita Mortimer.

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

Epigenetics is a promising field in the prevention, diagnosis and intervention of cardiovascular diseases. In our paper with The Warren Alpert Medical School peers, we highlight recent advances in epigenetics in the fields of cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery. doi.org/abs/10.2217/ep…

Our editorial on the intersection of epigenetics and recurrent UTIs was published @EpigenomicsFSG ! This work is a collaboration between The Warren Alpert Medical School divisions of FPMRS and Surgery! doi.org/abs/10.2217/ep…

A great news for IMGs as first time , Tennessee state passed the comprehensive law to bypass residency program to practice in USA 🇺🇸. Published today in NEJM see the key difference in below table. This is particularly important for folks who have completed residency outside USA

Another OB/MFM study in JAMA today: RCT comparing placebo to metformin for DM2 in pregnancy showed no difference in composite neonatal outcome (trial stopped for futility!) but nearly 40% reduction in LGA. Congrats MOMPOD group! jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Beyond excited to join the Duke OBGYN family!!! Go Blue Devils!!

"My name is Ghazal, it's a style of poetry in Farsi and I identify with that because my family reads [it]," explains Ghazal Aghagoli’19 MD'24. "When someone takes time to pronounce my name correctly, it acknowledges my Persian culture and sometimes, it even starts conversation."

Thrilled to share our latest publication, a collaboration between Stanford Cardiothoracic Surgery and The Warren Alpert Medical School ! I am beyond grateful for my amazing mentors Lye-Yeng Wong MD and Leah Backhus MD MPH FACS! #LungCancerScreening doi.org/10.1016/j.jtoc…
