MEET THE TRAINERS

Christine Dehlendorf, MD, MAS, is a Professor and Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), with additional appointments in the Departments of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences and Epidemiology and Biostatistics. She founded and directs the Person-Centered Reproductive Health Program, which aims to advance reproductive autonomy and well-being by conducting research and designing programs that center people’s experiences and preferences for sexual and reproductive health and health care, guided by an attention to the intersecting oppressions and structural injustices that impact people’s lives and health. Her research seeks to understand people’s preferences about reproductive health care, as well as developing and evaluating interventions to support patients to make informed, value-concordant decisions about their reproductive health. This includes having developed a contraceptive decision support tool designed to facilitate shared decision making between patients and providers about contraceptive options by informing patients about the characteristics of different methods and supporting them to evaluate the relationship of these characteristics to their personal preferences. Her work was honored with the Society of Family Planning’s Beacon of Science Award in 2022. She also provides primary care and reproductive health care at the Family Health Center at San Francisco General Hospital and Planned Parenthood.

Rachel Logan, PhD, MPH, CPH, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine (FCM) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). She completed a postdoctoral fellowship in FCM, working with the Person-Centered Reproductive Health Program. Prior to joining FCM, she completed her doctorate in Community and Family Health from the University of South Florida. Her research aims to improve the patient-provider dynamic during sexual and reproductive health care and to design community-engaged interventions to reduce inequities in sexual and reproductive healthcare and health outcomes. Leveraging critical socio-structural and theoretical frameworks, rooted in human rights and Black feminism, she uplifts the knowledge and expertise of Black communities and centers their perspectives in driving change in healthcare. Dr. Logan remains a resident of Florida and also serves as a member of the Core Team for Black in Repro, a workgroup of Floridians for Reproductive Freedom, and is a member of the Hillsborough County Reproductive Well-Being Learning Collaborative.
