The inaugural class of the Obstetrics & Gynecology Betsey, Lucy, and Anarcha Editorial Mentorship Program was established in 2024. This year-long mentorship program includes virtual seminars, mentored peer reviews, editorial conference calls, and learning opportunities from peers, mentors, and journal editors. Named in honor of Betsey, Lucy, and Anarcha, the program serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of ensuring that injustices are never perpetuated against vulnerable populations, regardless of race, religion, s*x, or political affiliation, through research, education, and clinical practice. This year, our esteemed faculty member, Dr. Priyanka Gokhale, was recognized as a mentee in this distinguished program. Congratulations, Priyanka.

Congratulations to our biomedical engineering team! Last week they were named semifinalists in the Global Health Initiative Challenge, and this week they earned second place in the Blaze Venture Competition.

Their project is a smartphone application that combines colorimetry and AI to measure blood loss on perineal pads. The tool is being developed to help quantify uterine bleeding in a wide range of situations, including menstruation, abortion, and pregnancy, even outside of clinical settings.
