Over the years, members of the University of Iowa Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology have had national leadership roles within our profession, helping to shape our collective ability to provide the best care possible to our patients. Our environment encourages innovative thinking, which has attracted a core of physician scientists, pushing the boundaries of our understanding of disease in order to better treat it.
We work in one of the nation’s “Most Wired” hospitals—a distinction we’ve earned over the past decade. We were pioneers in the use of electronic medical records and the rich data we’ve assembled assist researchers in finding the best care protocols for a number of conditions.
We hold the country’s highest designation for several of our clinical services, a testament to the vision and dedication of our faculty care givers. In some cases, we’ve written the criteria for credentialing programs around the country to deliver effective treatment for complex conditions.
Changing Medicine. Changing Lives. We change medicine each day by asking the difficult “what if” questions. In doing so, we bring better outcomes for hundreds of lives each day. We prepare our residents to be compassionate and innovative healers and discoverers and invite them to join us on this quest to improve the human condition.
