Training future experts in women's reproductive health
Duke Women's Reproductive Health Research Scholars
This program is all about training new doctors who specialize in women's health, helping them learn how to conduct important research on topics like gynecologic cancer and reproductive health, so they can lead their own teams and support future researchers.

What this research studies
This program aims to develop a new generation of skilled obstetrician/gynecologist researchers who will focus on women's reproductive health. It provides individualized mentoring and career development support to scholars from diverse backgrounds, emphasizing team science and innovative research methods. Scholars will be trained in various areas, including gynecologic cancer, reproductive infectious disease, and early human development, equipping them with the skills to lead their own research teams and mentor others in the field.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation or benefit from this research include women with reproductive health concerns, particularly those affected by gynecologic cancers or reproductive infectious diseases.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have reproductive health issues or are not seeking care in the field of obstetrics and gynecology may not receive benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could enhance the quality of care and treatment options available for women facing reproductive health issues.
How similar studies have performed: Other research programs focused on training clinician-investigators in specialized fields have shown success in improving patient outcomes and advancing medical knowledge.
