Welcome from the Chairman
The University of Kentucky's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology was
founded in 1962. Since its beginning, the department has continued to
focus on providing outstanding patient care as well as providing an
educational atmosphere for the training and education of
medical students and
residents
in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.
The department accomplishes these goals by recruiting faculty who
have shown clinical and surgical excellence and also a strong desire for
teaching. The
faculty and
residents
are involved in the advancement of medical science by their involvement
in research. Both basic science and clinical research is conducted
within our department or in collaboration with other departments.
