Yale Ob/Gyn

The Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at Yale School of Medicine continues to lead across all areas of clinical, educational, and research missions. Faculty and staff work together to improve the lives of women and families both in our community and around the world. We accomplish this by integrating outstanding reproductive science research with high-quality, compassionate, patient-centered clinical care that advances women’s reproductive health.

Yale Ob/Gyn has a rich history of advancing women’s medicine. Pioneering discoveries include the invention of the fetal heart monitor, the concept of Rooming-in [where mother and newborn are kept and cared for together], and new causes of and treatments for endometriosis. We are equally committed to discovering and disseminating scientific advancements that improve care today and shape care tomorrow.

As a worldwide leader, the goal of advancing women’s health is just as crucial as providing high-quality instruction for the next generation of physicians in family planning, gynecologic oncology, obstetric specialties and midwifery, and more. We also train the next generation of academic ob/gyn physician-scientists and leaders. As part of our mission for excellence in women’s health, we strive to promote excellence in how we care for patients, teach future physicians, and support a thriving department. We do this by proactively providing sponsorship and fostering success for all members of our community as we work toward more equitable healthcare access for all.
