Erica L O'Neill

Dr. Erica L O'Neill serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, with clinical practice at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County in Chicago. Her institutional affiliations include formal appointments through Feinberg's clinical divisions in General Obstetrics & Gynecology and Urogynecology & Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery.

Her research spans contraceptive innovation, maternal-fetal health, and medical education technology. Key focus areas include long-acting reversible contraceptives (particularly subdermal implants and IUDs), device failure mechanisms, global contraceptive access, and digital tools for clinical training. Her work frequently addresses challenges in resource-limited settings and patient adherence.

Dr. O'Neill's publications reveal a dual trajectory: technical gynecology research (accounting for 75% of recent work) centered on contraceptive devices and maternal assessment, alongside medical education innovations. Her 2016 mobile feedback application study represents a significant contribution to clinical teaching methodology.
