Current research/areas of interest
Clinical trials evaluating interventions to improve obstetric outcomes in less developed regions, in addition to cost-effectiveness simulations and analysis. Focus on use of misoprostol and anti-shock garment as early treatment measures to reduce morbidity and mortality attributable to postpartum hemorrhage.

Professional trajectory
After completing an OB/GYN residency, Tori plans to work at an academic medical center in the U.S., serving indigent patients and conducting international clinical trials.

Words of wisdom
Narrow your interests as soon as possible and find a mentor who shares your vision and is willing to guide you and help you develop into a physician-researcher.
