On May 29, 2025, UW Department of Ob-Gyn resident John Gravelle, MD, PGY-4, presented the Grand Rounds lecture “We Built This Mistrust: Addressing the Legacy of Medical Harm in Ob-Gyn.” 

In the lecture, Gravelle identified key historical and contemporary events driving medical mistrust in ob-gyn; described how systemic inequities and biases in reproductive and gender-affirming healthcare continue to perpetuate mistrust; assessed the role of social media and misinformation in amplifying mistrust toward medical institutions; and shared trust-building strategies at the bedside and within broader clinical and policy system.
