Join host Chase Hendrickson, MD, from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, in a discussion about a recent article in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism about polycystic ovarian syndrome. He talks with Anna Goldman, MD, from Harvard Medical School, and guest expert David Ehrmann, MD, from the University of Chicago. The article featured this month, by van der Ham et al, was first published online in JCEM in May 2024: “Clustering Identifies Subtypes With Different Phenotypic Characteristics in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.”
Meet the Speakers
David A. Ehrmann, MD, is a clinical professor of medicine, the director of the Center for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and associate director of Clinical Research Center at the University of Chicago Medical Center. His research has focused on the mechanisms by which obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) modifies risk for the development of metabolic and cardiovascular aberrations in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). He has conducted clinical research on various aspects of PCOS, most of which has focused on identifying genetic and environmental factors that lead to early development of type 2 diabetes in this population. The vast majority of Dr. Ehrmann’s research has focused on the pathogenesis of metabolic derangements associated with PCOS, the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. He has worked extensively in the Clinical Research Center with endocrinology fellows and support staff. The results of recent investigations indicate that OSA is a major contributor to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes in PCOS.
Anna Goldman, MD, received her medical degree from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. She trained in internal medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where she also served as chief resident. She did her fellowship training in endocrinology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), during which she conducted research in andrology. Dr. Goldman was the associate program director for the endocrinology fellowship training program at BWH for many years. She is an instructor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and is now in practice at Atrius Health. Her career focus is on patient care in the areas of andrology, transgender care, diabetes, and medical education.
