Additionally, most of the medical hardships in my immediate and extended family have been OB\/GYN-related, and I see entering in this field as a way to advocate for the women in my family, and others like them, who have endured so much.<\/p>\n<h3>WHY UNC?<\/h3>\n<p>I have long admired UNC&#8217;s commitment to cultivating a residency cohort whose diverse backgrounds reflect the patient population it serves. I was encouraged to discover, after meeting these residents and faculty personally, that they are as funny and kind as they are intelligent and highly-skilled! These interactions, coupled with the opportunity to explore virtually any subspecialty that OB\/GYN has to offer alongside renowned leaders in the field, assured me that UNC would provide me with the ideal training ground for both my personal and professional development. I can&#8217;t wait to grow into same kind of compassionate, culturally competent, and advocacy-driven OB\/GYN that I get to surround myself with every single day!<\/p>\n<h3>RECENT PUBLICATIONS:<\/h3>\n<p>For a list of recent publications, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33444582\/\">Dr. Woodard&#8217;s PubMed Listing.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6591,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"layout":"","cellInformation":"","apiCallInformation":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"ud_division":[169,88,63],"class_list":["post-6590","ud_entry","type-ud_entry","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ud_division-class-of-2029","ud_division-department-of-obstetrics-and-gynecology","ud_division-obgyn-residents","odd"],"acf":[],"ud_entry_custom_fields":{"ud_last_name":"Woodard","ud_first_name":"Ivie","ud_gallery_summary":"","ud_telephone":false,"ud_email":"","ud_positions":[{"ud_title":"Residency - Class of 2029"}],"ud_options":[],"ud_sort_order":""},"featured_image":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/obgyn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1360\/2025\/08\/Ivie-Uwaifo.jpg","featured_image_medium":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/obgyn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1360\/2025\/08\/Ivie-Uwaifo.jpg","featured_image_medium_large":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/obgyn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1360\/2025\/08\/Ivie-Uwaifo.jpg","featured_image_large":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/obgyn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1360\/2025\/08\/Ivie-Uwaifo.jpg","featured_image_thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/obgyn\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1360\/2025\/08\/Ivie-Uwaifo-150x150.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/obgyn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ud_entry\/6590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/obgyn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ud_entry"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/obgyn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ud_entry"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/obgyn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/obgyn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"ud_division","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/obgyn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ud_division?post=6590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
