  • Comment: On behalf of Atria Health, I am submitting a draft biography about oncologist and surgeon Elizabeth Poynor (Wikidata) as part of my work at Beutler Ink. The draft provides neutral overviews of the subject's early life, education, career, research, and board service and memberships, based on Wikipedia-appropriate sources. Regarding notability, I believe Criterion 1 (part A) at Notability (academics) apply as the subject is highly cited (Scopus; partial list of scientific articles at Wikidata). Given my COI, which I've also disclosed on the Talk page, I will not publish the article to the main space and ask independent editors to review for accuracy, neutrality, and verifiability. For this project, Atria Health has provided feedback to ensure accuracy. I'm happy to address any questions or concerns that may arise during the review process. Thanks, Inkian Jason (talk) 18:10, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Elizabeth Ann Poynor (born January 9, 1962) is a gynecologic oncologist and advanced pelvic surgeon, a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine, and the chair of women's health and gynecology at the Atria Institute.[1]

Early life and education

Elizabeth Ann Poynor was born to Paul and Elizabeth "Mickie" Poynor in Nashville, Tennessee, on January 9, 1962. She and her parents moved to Ponca City, Oklahoma, in 1967,[2] where her father was a research consultant in chemical engineering for Conoco and her mother was a director of technical support and research.[3] In 1980, she graduated from Ponca City High School, where she participated in debate and swimming.[2]

Poynor graduated from Princeton University in 1984,[2][3] before receiving her Doctor of Medicine degree from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1988. She completed her internship and was a chief resident in obstetrics and gynaecology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, before completing a four-year fellowship in gynecologic oncology in the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center's (MSKCC) surgery department in 1995.[2][4] She earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree in cell biology and genetics from Cornell University.[2]

Career

Following her fellowship, Poynor was a staff member at MSKCC until mid 2006, when she established a private practice.[2] She has also held a faculty position at Weill Cornell Medicine.[4] Poynor was a gynecologic oncologist and pelvic surgeon at Lenox Hill Hospital, as of 2008–2015,[5] and became a gynecological oncologist at the St. Anthony Community Hospital in Warwick, New York, in 2011.[4] She is a member of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Medical Association, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists, The Menopause Society,[4] and the New York Gynecology Society.[6] She is on the medical advisory board of Sharsheret, a non-profit organization that supports Jewish women diagnosed with breast cancer and ovarian cancer.[7]

Poynor's research topics include the genetics and molecular biology of ovarian cancers.[4] According to The Cut, she "has written extensively on the need to separate obstetrics and gynecology to allow doctors to focus on women who've aged out of the concerns endemic to the reproductive years".[8] Poynor hosts a podcast called Decoding Women's Health.[1][9] She has been deemed an "extraordinary" woman physician specializing in oncology in Castle Connolly Medical's list of "exceptional women in medicine".[10]

Personal life

Poynor is based in New York.[11] She is married to Richard Shapiro and the couple have a son.[2] She was inducted into Ponca City High School's "hall of fame" in 2022.[2]
