| Since then, many outstanding obstetricians and gynecologists have matriculated through our program, serving both here and throughout the United States. Born with an outstanding clinical emphasis, the program is maturing into a world-class academic program with an expansion of our basic science and clinical/surgical research missions. A number of our graduates choose to remain in academic medicine and successfully obtain additional subspecialty fellowship training. |
