Hala Ouweini

While completing her master's degree, Hala discovered her passion for the vast world of academic and clinical medicine with its endless opportunities. She then graduated with an MD from the American University of Beirut whereby she realized that Women’s health was her primary passion. Thus, she moved to Detroit to join the Office of Women’s Health as a Research Associate with an interest to grow her passion in an environment serving to advance the health and wellbeing of Women and girls.
Hala’s responsibilities at the Office of Women’s Health are distributed over three main pillars:
• Research& Development: Hala coordinates multiple research projects conducted at the Office of Women’s Health including a statewide research network.
• Education & Leadership: Under this pillar, Hala works closely with medical students at Wayne State University to improve their leadership skills through overseeing the Trailblazer Fellowship. Moreover, she organizes the Women's Health Scholarly Concentration for Wayne School of Medicine whereby medical students have an opportunity to participate in research projects on women’s health.
• Implementation Science: Hala coordinates the Well Women's Wednesdays program which is a mobile unit focused on women’s health. She is also involved in the unique Make Your Date campaign aimed at reducing the rate of preterm birth.
Hala ultimately aims to pursue residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology and follow her dream of having a long-life career of caring for and empowering women of all ages.
