2024-2027 FSMFM/AAOGF Scholar

We are pleased to announce that Beth Pineles, MD, PhD, has been selected for the 2024-2027 Foundation for SMFM/AAOGF Scholarship for her project entitled, “DERESTRICT: De-implementation of activity restriction for preterm birth prevention in high-risk pregnancy.” 

Dr. Beth Pineles is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Her goal is to become an independent patient-oriented researcher specializing in the de-implementation of low-value and harmful practices in obstetrics and maternal-fetal medicine. Specifically, she is interested in de-implementing interventions for which the harm to either the birthing parent’s physical or mental health or to the fetus/child’s health outweighs any perceived or potential benefits. Dr. Pineles’ primary mentors for this award will be Sunni Mumford, PhD, and Lisa Levine, MD, MSCE.
