Jasmine D. Patel

Jasmine D. Patel, MD, MSc, is an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) School of Medicine. She is a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist with a clinical focus on reproductive health, complex contraception, and family planning.

Her research interests center on contraceptive efficacy and reproductive autonomy, particularly examining how timing of hormonal interventions affects ovulation. She has contributed to clinical studies on depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), exploring its role as both emergency and ongoing contraception.

The available publication highlights her work in reproductive endocrinology, demonstrating that DMPA effectively suppresses ovulation when administered before cycle day 12, supporting its use without backup contraception in that window. Her research integrates clinical practice with evidence-based innovation in family planning.
