Committed to academic excellence

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine was founded in 2017. Our success in educating future healthcare providers is the result of exceptional community-based faculty who work with our department to provide a variety of learning opportunities and strategic recruitment of diverse faculty who value quality education, scholarly activity and providing outstanding healthcare. Each phase of our growth has addressed how we can improve the delivery of healthcare to women in our region. We are proud to collaborate with numerous departments in the School of Medicine and across the University of Nevada, Reno campus for research.

In our current phase, we are developing an integrated clinical department with Renown Regional Medical Center, which will expand the opportunities for education, research and clinical care.
