Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences
This department’s primary purpose is the education of medical students, resident house staff, fellows, and practicing physicians in the broad areas of primary health care of women and reproductive biology. Educational programs, designed to integrate basic biologic tenets with clinical practice, are provided by a faculty with training in general obstetrics and gynecology, subspecialty training in maternal and fetal medicine, oncology, and reproductive mechanisms. The principles of maternal and fetal medicine, family planning and population control, medical and surgical gynecology, oncology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, sexuality, and primary care for women are taught in the ambulatory care setting, in the classroom, and in the facilities of Memorial Hermann Hospital, Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) General Hospital, M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, St. Joseph Hospital, and Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital.
The department is responsible for teaching reproductive biology, which is required for all second-year medical students. An eight-week clinical clerkship for third-year students is conducted. The department also offers a wide variety of electives to fourth-year students in clinical and laboratory investigative aspects of the specialty.
The department is responsible for two separate but integrated residency programs in obstetrics and gynecology. One program is based at Memorial Hermann Hospital and the other at LBJ Hospital. There are cross-rotations between these programs and experience is provided at M. D. Anderson and Memorial Hermann Southwest. A program of post-doctoral and fellowship training in maternal and fetal medicine is offered to qualified physicians. The department also offers, through the UT Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, opportunities for study leading to advanced degrees in the reproductive sciences.
