The University of Utah Women's Health Equity Fellowship (WHE) is an OBGYN departmental fellowship, which aims to address health equity for women in low resource settings. Core competencies in clinical care, research, professionalism and leadership, as well as global health ethics, partnerships and cultural competencies, will provide trainees with a well-rounded and enriching professional and educational experience.
The WHE Fellow will spend their first year primarily working at Tsehootsooi Medical Center in Fort Defiance, Arizona, serving the peoples of the Navajo Nation. This will follow a short time spent in Salt Lake City, where the fellow has the option to complete a Master of Science in Clinical Investigation. While on-site, the Fellow will learn from their site mentors and hone their clinical skills.
In their second year, trainees will primarily live and train in Kigali, Rwanda with University partners at the University of Rwanda, Kigali (CHUK). The Fellow will also spend several months in Utah, allowing them to receive mentorship and work toward completion of their chosen research project, wherein they will re-apply their clinical knowledge and develop competencies in clinical innovation and quality improvement. During that time in Salt Lake City, the fellow will also function as a general ob/gyn, supervising medical students and residents on labor and delivery and the gynecology inpatient service.
