NIH K12: WashU-WRHR; Gateway to Improving Women’s Reproductive Health
To solve complex problems in women’s reproductive health, we need more obstetricians and gynecologists to conduct research. The WashU-Women’s Reproductive Health Research (WRHR) training program will provide didactic courses, one-on-one mentorship, and career development for OB/GYNs interested in pursuing research in women’s reproductive health for their career.

Several seminar series in basic and clinical research invite faculty, trainees and students to hear WUSM and visiting speakers, share works in progress, and learn about updates on funding sources, publication standards and more.
