Dr. Rachel Masch is a native of New York. She attended Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, where she majored in International Relations. Her interest in women's reproductive rights and health care issues steered her into medical school at Brown University School of Medicine and then into a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology. She did her internship and residency at The Reading Hospital and Medical Center in Reading, Pennsylvania. After completing her training, she came back to New York and joined the faculty of New York University School of Medicine.
In keeping with her desire to further women's health care internationally, Dr. Masch obtained a Master in Public Health from Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. This degree enabled her to further her work in reproductive rights, and she began the Reproductive Choice Service at NYU/Bellevue, where she was the Medical Director and then the Fellowship Director in Family Planning. She is currently the Medical Co-Director of the Mount Sinai Beth Israel Division of Family Planning. She has received multiple medical student and resident teaching awards throughout her career.
Dr. Masch has continued her international work providing medical consultation, clinical care and performing research around the world in places as diverse as American Samoa, India, Vietnam, South Africa, El Salvador, Haiti, Colombia and China. She is currently the Chief Medical Officer of Basic Health International, an organization dedicated to the elimination of cervical cancer globally. She has published widely in peer-reviewed journals in her main areas of interest: contraception, education, miscarriage, cervical cancer, and global public health. Her research is ongoing.
