Postscript: Women ’s Health and the Era after COVID-19

As the world clamored to respond to the rapidly evolving coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, healthcare systems reacted swiftly to provide uninterrupted care for patients. Within obstetrics and gynecology, nearly every facet of care has been influenced. Rescheduling of obstetrics and gynecology visits, safety on labor and delivery and the operating room, and implementation of telemedicine are examples. Social distancing has particularly impacted academic centers in the education of trainees. COVID-19 vaccine trials have increased awareness of including pregnant and lactating women in clinical trials. Lastly, the pandemic has reminded us of issues related to ethics, diversity and inclusiveness, marginalized communities, and the women ’s health workforce.
