Dr. Steven G. Gabbe, professor and chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Washington School of Medicine and an international authority on high-risk pregnancy, has been elected to the Institute of Medicine. The announcement was made Oct. 12 in Washington, D.C.

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) was chartered in 1970 as a component of the National Academy of Sciences to enlist distinguished members of the appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. Its mission is to advance and disseminate scientific knowledge to improve human health.

Gabbe joined the UW faculty in July 1996. A maternal-fetal medicine specialist, he is a leading expert on diabetes during pregnancy. He also has done research on prenatal diagnosis using ultrasound, the assessment of fetal well-being, premature labor, and other complications of childbirth. He is known among his clinical staff for his skill and compassion in caring for patients planning or carrying potentially difficult pregnancies.

Gabbe was previously professor and chair of obstetrics and gynecology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, where he was the only department chair to receive the Professor of the Year Award from graduating medical students. He is the senior editor of Obstetrics: Normal and Problem Pregnancies, a major textbook now in its third edition. He is immediate past president of the Council of University Chairs of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Born in Newark, N.J., in 1944, Gabbe is a graduate of Princeton University and Cornell University Medical College. He was a resident and fellow at the Boston Hospital for Women, a research and clinical fellow at Harvard University, and has served on the faculties of the University of Southern California, the University of Colorado, and the University of Pennsylvania. He and his wife, Dr. Patricia C. Temple, are the parents of four grown children.

Institute of Medicine members elect new members from among candidates chosen for their major contributions to health and medicine. Members devote significant volunteer time to committees studying a broad range of health policy issues, making recommendations to the government, corporate sector, the health professions and the public.

Current IOM projects include studies of cancer research among minorities and the medically underserved, improving civilian medical response to chemical or biological terrorism, prevention of perinatal transmission of HIV, medical use of marijuana, and a continuing series of reports on recommended dietary allowances.

Gabrielle Christina Victoria Douglas OLY [3] (born December 31, 1995[4]) is an American artistic gymnast. She is the 2012 Olympic all-around champion and the 2015 World all-around silver medalist. She was a member of the gold-winning teams at both the 2012 and the 2016 Summer Olympics, dubbed the "Fierce Five" and the "Final Five" by the media, respectively. She was also a member of the gold-winning American teams at the 2011 and the 2015 World Championships.[5]

Douglas is the first African American to become the Olympic individual all-around champion,[6][7] and the first U.S. gymnast to win gold in both the individual all-around and team competitions at the same Olympics. She was also the 2016 AT&T American Cup all-around champion.

As a public figure, Douglas' gymnastics successes have led to her life story adaptation in the 2014 Lifetime biopic film, The Gabby Douglas Story,[8] as well as the acquisition of her own reality television series, Douglas Family Gold.[9] Douglas has also written a book about her life and what it takes to be an Olympic gold medalist by determination and perseverance.[10]

Douglas was born in Newport News, Virginia and grew up in nearby Virginia Beach,[12] to parents Timothy Douglas and Natalie Hawkins-Douglas.[13] She has two older sisters, Arielle and Joyelle, and one older brother, Johnathan.[14] She began training in gymnastics at age six when her sister convinced their mother to enroll her in classes.[15] In October 2002, she began her training at Gymstrada.[16]

At 14, she moved to Des Moines, Iowa, to train full-time with coach Liang Chow. Because her family had to stay in Virginia while her siblings finished school, she lived with Travis and Missy Parton and their four daughters, one of whom also trained at Chow's gym.[19] However, Douglas struggled to fit in because of the separation from her family and hometown.[20]

Douglas is Christian; she said, "I believe in God. He is the secret of my success. He gives people talent",[21] and "I love sharing about my faith. God has given me this amazing God-given talent, so I'm going to go out and glorify His name."[22] Douglas has also stated in her biography that when she was younger her "family practiced some of the Jewish traditions", including attending a Conservative Jewish synagogue, keeping kosher, and celebrating Hanukah.[23][24]

Douglas made her international debut in 2008 at the US Classic in Houston, Texas, where she placed 10th place in the all-around rankings. She went on to compete at the 2008 Visa Championships in Boston, Massachusetts. Placing 16th[25] in that competition, Douglas was not eligible for the 2008 Junior Women's National Team.[26]

In 2009, Douglas suffered a fracture in the growth plate of her wrist. Due to this injury, she was not able to compete and missed the 2009 Covergirl US Classic. While she competed at the 2009 Visa Championships in Dallas, Texas, Douglas was unable to perform her full routines and competed only on balance beam and floor exercise.[26]

In October, at age 14, Douglas moved into the home of Missy Parton in West Des Moines, Iowa, to train under Liang Chow, the former coach of 2007 World Champion and 2008 Summer Olympics gold medalist Shawn Johnson.[14][27][28] Although Douglas' former coach, Walker, stated in 2012 that she was convinced Douglas could have made it to the Olympics if she had remained in Virginia Beach, Douglas said, "Something clicked in my head that said, if I really want to make this happen I need to get better coaching."[16] The impetus for Douglas' move to Iowa was when Walker had invited Chow to teach a clinic at her gym, Excalibur.[16] Douglas was impressed when Chow was able to teach her how to perform the Amanar vault in a single afternoon.[6] Douglas considered a move to Texas to train with a renowned coach there, but after that coach declined to train her out of loyalty to Walker, Douglas selected Chow.[29] Chow was initially skeptical, since Douglas had been just one of hundreds of children at the clinic in Virginia Beach.[16] However, Chow subsequently informed Douglas's Excalibur coaches that he had agreed to train her, but pointed out that he did not recruit her, saying, "I would never recruit anybody to my program." Later on, Douglas suffered from a hamstring strain and a hip flexor injury in July. She couldn't do much during this time, but this allowed her to improve her bar skills.[29]

At the AT&T American Cup at Madison Square Garden in March, Douglas received the highest total all-around score in the women's competition, ahead of her teammate and current world champion Jordyn Wieber. However, her scores did not count towards winning the competition because she was an alternate.[32]

Later in March, she was part of the gold-winning U.S. team at the Pacific Rim Championships, where she also won gold in uneven bars.[32][33]At the 2012 U.S. National Championships in June, Douglas won the gold medal in uneven bars, silver in the all-around, and bronze in floor. Mrta Krolyi, the National Team Coordinator for USA Gymnastics, nicknamed Douglas the "Flying Squirrel" for her aerial performance on the uneven bars.[34][35][36]

Douglas finished eighth in uneven bars,[43][44] and seventh in balance beam.[45] She is the first all-around champion to fail to medal in an individual event since women's gymnastics was added to the Olympics in 1952.[46]

In August 2013, Douglas left Missy Parton's home, and moved to Los Angeles to be with her family. Although she was no longer training with Chow, she said that she was still preparing to compete in the 2016 Olympics.[47]

In mid-April 2014, Douglas returned to Iowa to train once more with Coach Chow, in an attempt to qualify for the 2016 Olympics in Rio. Chow and his wife were delighted to have Douglas return to the Iowa gym, which they had not expected she would after her departure to Los Angeles in summer 2013. At that time they were also training promising junior Norah Flatley, who many considered similar to both Douglas and Shawn Johnson in performance style.[48]

After participating in several national team camps in 2014, on November 25, 2014, Douglas was added back to the U.S. national team, along with Olympic teammate Aly Raisman and former Chow's Gymnastics teammate Rachel Gowey.[51]

In March 2015, Douglas returned to international competition at the 2015 City of Jesolo Trophy in Jesolo, Italy. Douglas helped the USA win gold in the team competition and also placed 4th all-around behind defending World Champion Simone Biles, newcomer Bailie Key, and Olympic teammate Aly Raisman.

In July, Douglas competed at the U.S. Classic and finished second in the all-around behind 2-time World All-Around Champion Simone Biles and ahead of Maggie Nichols with a score of 60.500. She had a consistent night hitting clean routines. She placed second on uneven bars behind Madison Kocian and ahead of Bailie Key with a score of 15.400, third on balance beam behind Biles and Olympic teammate Aly Raisman with a score of 14.900, and second on floor exercise behind Biles and ahead of Key and Nichols with a score of 15.000.[52]
