Vaginal Microbiome Mentoring with Dr. Moira Bradfield Strydom (PhD)
1:1 Vaginal Microbiome Mentoring? Complex vaginal and genitourinary presentations rarely follow textbook patterns. Even experienced practitioners can benefit from a fresh perspective when working through a challenging case.
After more than 20 years in clinical practice, I know that sometimes the missing piece isn't more information, it's another clinician to help organise the evidence, challenge assumptions and strengthen clinical reasoning.
My 1:1 mentoring sessions provide practitioners with the opportunity to discuss complex cases, interpret microbiome findings and explore evidence-informed, ecological approaches to vaginal and genitourinary health.
Whether you're seeking reassurance that you're on the right track, working through a difficult presentation, or wanting to deepen your understanding of microbiome science, mentoring provides personalised guidance tailored to your clinical practice.

Preparing for your Vaginal Microbiome Mentoring session
To make the most of your mentoring session, please prepare a concise de-identified case summary before your appointment. This can be provided in whatever format works best for you, including written notes, timelines, pathology results, microbiome reports or schematic summaries.
You are welcome to discuss more than one case during your session if time permits, although prioritising your most important questions will help maximise the value of the appointment.
