Summary

Dr. David Goodman completed the Duke Global Health Obstetrics and Gynecology Fellowship in 2017. Dr. Goodman completed his obstetrics and gynecology residency at Wake Forest University and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) School of Medicine. He also earned a master’s in public health at UNC. During his fellowship, he was awarded a Fogarty International Clinical Research Fellowship and spent 12 months in Tanzania. He conducted research at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre on a project entitled “Testing the feasibility of introducing fetal scalp stimulation as an adjunct to intermittent auscultation in an Tanzanian obstetric referral hospital.”  The goal of his project was to improve the accuracy of fetal monitoring in low-resource settings using low-cost testing that may lead to decreased intrapartum stillbirths and other complications of birth asphyxia. Dr. Goodman is currently practicing at Orlando’s Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies OB/GYN Hospitalist Group and is the Director of the Global Health Scholars Program.
