The Department:

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is in the College of Medicine.

Obstetrics and Gynecology is that discipline of medicine which encompasses reproductive biology and the ultimate application thereof to human reproduction. In the natural evolution of medical care in the United States the obstetrician-gynecologist has become the primary physician for women. The courses of study available in Obstetrics and Gynecology are designed to provide a clinical substrate for the medical student in this branch of medicine. The means to this end are by precept and example of patient diagnosis, care and therapeusis as well as didactic and tutorial sessions.
