Dr. Aubey elected to study medicine after working in community planning in Cameroon, West Africa. She earned a Master’s in Public Health from Tulane University of School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and a Medical Degree from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine.

She completed a year of post-graduate training at Memorial Sloane Kettering where she studied indicators for quality of life in patients following extensive surgery for advanced pelvic cancers. Dr. Aubey serves as Medical Director of the Postpartum Service at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center. As a front-line practitioner and researcher by training, she is actively involved in obstetric simulation, protocol development and the re-design efforts for labor and delivery and the postpartum service. Simulation in obstetrics allows medical team members to re-create emergencies such as shoulder dystocia, postpartum hemorrhage, and hypertensive crisis in order to critically evaluate practices. These exercises ultimately lead to improved team coordination preparedness.
