DEPARTMENTAL SUPPORT

The University of Rochester Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology contains a very active Division of Research.  This group of researchers represents 10 countries, conducts research on a broad array of topics, and maintains a reputation of excellence through publications and conference presentations.  In the last year alone, the research division brought $4.4 million of grant funding into the department.  

Our fellows benefit from having direct access to this distinguished group, who support our fellows through mentorship, administrative support, and help with statistics and data analysis.  Our fellows also have access to departmental grant funding.
