Our statewide network of dedicated community faculty support this mission through education and patient care.

Student Testimonials
The Ob/Gyn faculty were among the top physicians I had the pleasure of learning from in my clinical years. The department has a friendly atmosphere and the physicians I worked with answered questions about the specialty, which piqued my interest even further.Cooper Love, MS4
I remember coming home after completing my second day of the Ob/Gyn rotation and telling my family, "This is the one!" My love for the specialty continued to grow throughout the eight-week clerkship. I am a firm believer this was due to the amazing faculty and staff I was working with each day.Mikaela Herberg, MS4
