Overview
The UW Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (UW-OBGYN) comprises campuses, programs, faculty, and staff across the state of Wisconsin. For over 80 years, we have provided Wisconsin with quality patient-care, top-notch Fellowships, resident education and research.
We are one of the oldest OBGYN departments in the nation, with origins dating back to 1920. And with approximately 80 faculty and over 120 employees, a comprehensive residency program, two specialized fellowships and a department life like none other, we are one of the largest, as well.
These accomplishments demonstrate our commitment to improving the health of the people of Wisconsin and the nation, a goal fundamentally linked to the mission of the UW School of Medicine and Public Health. By working in partnership with physicians, teachers, communities, and hospitals, we provide Wisconsin families with local, accessible health care-every day.
