About Dr. Richard-Davis
Clinical Biography
Gloria Richard-Davis, M.D., FACOG, is a tenured professor, board certified reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist and serves as our division director for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. Dr. Richard-Davis is also executive director for the UAMS Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, as well as medical director for the UAMS Physician Assistants program. Her passionate holistic approach to patient care propelled her to foster the development of UAMS Culinary Medicine Program, where she serves as the lead instructor. She joined the UAMS faculty in January 2013.
She previously served as professor and chair of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Meharry Medical College from January 2007-2012. Prior to her appointment, Richard-Davis served as the section head of Reproductive Health Services for the Ochsner Clinic Foundation and the medical director of the Fertility Center at Ochsner from 2000-2007 in New Orleans. She was assistant dean in Student Affairs and assistant professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Tulane University School of Medicine from 1994-1998.
Richard-Davis has more than 25 years of experience in women’s health and reproductive endocrinology and in general obstetrics and gynecology. She has served in leadership positions in medical professional societies, including the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, the North American Menopause Society, and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. She is an oral board examiner for American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. She is also the recipient of many awards and grants for her research and scholarly activities.
Her passion for culinary medicine grew out of her concern and focus on optimizing women’s health prior to conception for better pregnancy outcomes. Her polycystic ovarian patients that struggle with obesity and glucose abnormalities were the catalyst that started her focus on culinary medicine. As an undergraduate student, she studied nutrition at Harvard University, which influenced her understanding about the importance of nutrition and its impact on health.
Her areas of research and clinical interest include menopausal health, polycystic ovarian syndrome, female sexual dysfunction, uterine fibroids, ovulation induction, reproductive disruptors, and assisted reproductive technologies. She has authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications and a book on infertility entitled “Planning Parenthood: Strategies for Success in Fertility Assistance, Adoption, and Surrogacy.”
