Margaret D. Larkins-Pettigrew, MD
Assistant Dean, Office of Student Affairs and Associate Professor, CWRU School of Medicine

As an academic clinician in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Larkins-Pettigrew has dedicated over twenty-five years of her professional and personal life to diversity issues and global health challenges of women.  

One of the few female African-American providers locally, she cares for all women but has a special focus on under-resourced communities and care for women living with HIV. She has found that the lack of cultural humility affecting women in the United States and abroad have resulted in preventable deaths. The need for sustainable programs focused on educating primary care and specialty providers has proven to be essential in order to decrease the burden of disease and thwart unnecessary deaths from preventable causes.
