Dr. Nyia Noel joined Boston Medical Center as the Director of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery and Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine. Prior to this, she completed a fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. Her clinical and research interests include fibroids, endometriosis, disparities in maternal morbidity and mortality, and health care access and systems delivery.
In July 2021, Fibroid Awareness Month, Dr. Noel founded The Fibroid Center at Boston Medical Center which focuses on exceptional care, patient advocacy and research through centering the patient voice.
Dr. Noel also serves as a co-investigator for the All of Us Research Program at Boston Medical Center/Boston University Medical Center through which she works to increase enrollment of underrepresented groups in research. Prior to founding the Fibroid Center, Dr. Noel worked with The Prenatal Aspirin Project to promote the use of low dose aspirin in pregnancy to decrease black maternal morbidity and mortality by decreasing the occurrence of pre-eclampsia, preterm birth and growth restriction in high risk women.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

Dr. Noel is the former Vice President of Partnerships and Engagement of the New England Medical Association, the regional affiliate of the National Medical Association, an organization created to serve as a collective voice for black physicians in New England and advocate for health equity and the elimination of disparities in the healthcare system.
