Training the next generation of academic OB/GYN leaders
For Northern Nevada and beyond
The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology advances evidence-based care in pregnancy, gynecologic surgery and women’s health across Northern Nevada. With clinical operations at Renown Regional Medical Center and teaching and research facilities on the UNR Med campus, the department supports patient care, medical education and the training of future women’s health providers.
Patient care
UNR Med and Renown Health have a long-standing partnership to offer our students access to passionate and knowledgeable physicians in a world-class facility.
Within our joint department, we offer high-level and evidence-based care. During pregnancy, this includes routine obstetric care, and input from maternal-fetal-medicine sub-specialists for high-risk pregnancies. Our gynecology team's expertise ranges from routine health screening to complex pelvic surgery, including access to minimally-invasive gynecology and urogynecology sub-specialists.
We also partner with other regional leading physicians in gynecologic oncology and reproductive endocrinology/infertility to provide comprehensive Ob/Gyn access for trainees and patients.
We are actively involved in training the next generation of physicians in an effort to address northern Nevada's shortage of Ob/Gyn specialists.
