Advancing Maternal and Child Health Through Obstetric Clinical Trials

Virtual Symposium

Clinical trials are considered the gold standard for testing new therapies and interventions. Over the past three decades, Stanford Obstetrics and Gynecology and, more recently, the Dunlevie Maternal-Fetal Medicine Center have initiated and partnered in clinical trials that have greatly advanced the science and practice of obstetrics. This symposium will highlight cutting-edge and innovative obstetric clinical trials from Stanford researchers and our national partners, as well as the methodologies, challenges and rewards surrounding their conduct.

We hope to bring together the Stanford community and stimulate new clinical and translational research initiatives. Join us and be inspired by the impact of obstetrical clinical trials!
