Our Division's Mission

In our quest for equity and innovation, our doctors provide their time and resources to our local communities and beyond. Our mission is to train providers who will develop expertise and contribute to advancements in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.

Researchers in our department are involved in numerous research projects aimed at improving gynecologic care for our patients. Our physicians and scientists investigate a wide variety of gynecological conditions to examine risks, treatments and outcomes associated with these disorders. This allows us to improve diagnosis and treatment methods for our patients.

From advocacy work within the United Nations focused on female genital cutting (FGC), to collaborative care with physicians from Senegal to Haiti, we constantly seek to provide optimal care to our patients locally and globally. As one of the leading divisions that spearheads work in Global Women’s Health, we also house one of the few Fellowship Training Program in Global Women’s Health in obstetrics and gynecology.
