Suzanne Trupin, M.D. has ranked in the top 10% among Obstetrics & Gynecology's 1,144 referees in 2015.
Obstetrics & Gynecology is the Official Publication of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and the most complete and reliable source of information on current developments in women's health care.
The role of the peer reviewer is absolutely critical in the dissemination of new knowledge in medicine. To be an excellent peer reviewer requires a high level of knowledge of the subject matter, scientific method, statistical analysis, and an ability to communicate one's critical thinking about a particular paper without prejudice or conflict.

From Gyno Gab
Endometriosis Awareness Month
March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, so take a few moments to learn more about this condition from Gyno Gab. Endometriosis is a painful, chronic syndrome that affects millions of women worldwide. It happens when endometrium, also known as the lining of the uterus, starts growing in other parts of the body. It might grow on the ovaries, bladder, bowel, or other areas in the abdominal cavity. This misplaced tissue continues to respond to the hormonal menstrual cycle, just as the lining of the uterus does; and that leads to painful internal bleeding and inflammation as the shed lining has no way to escape the body.
What causes endometriosis? Experts still don't know for sure. But symptoms include painful menstruation, pain during sex, urination, or bowel movements, and infertility. Women with endometriosis also have worse pain reactions in general. Learn more about endometriosis by reading these articles from the Gyno Gab archive.
