Marielle is currently a PGY-4 and is excited to announce that she will be starting her family planning fellowship at USCD next year. During her residency, Marielle has been very active in research and has authored several publications - most recently she presented on Contraception Choice Among Those Seeking Abortion For Fetal Indication or Management of Pregnancy Loss which was published in the Obstetri...cs & Gynecology Journal in April 2021. In addition to her research interests, Marielle enjoys traveling, hiking, wine tasting, and spending time with her cat Fleur. Thanks Dr. Meurice for 4 years of service! We can’t wait to see how much you accomplish in the future! #UCIObGynConnects

The CDC reports that the U.S. teen pregnancy rate is substantially higher than in other western industrialized nations and racial/ethnic and geographic disparities in teen birth rates persist. Additionally, the children of teenage mothers are more likely to drop out of high school, have more health conditions, be incarcerated at some time during adolescence, also experience teenage pregnancy, and potentially face unemployment as a young adult. Sexual and reproductive healthc...are and education should be accessible, affordable, and inclusive! https://www.cdc.gov/teenpregnancy/about/index.htm #UCIOBGYNHeals Connect with our SM Committee: @AdamCsBabies
