For over three-quarters of a century, Emory University School of Medicine's Department of
Gynecology and Obstetrics has neen committed to providing excellence in education, patient care,
and clinical and basic science research. Under the leadership of our current chairman,
Sarah Berga, M. D., clinical service, teaching, and research
are provided through seven divisions comprised of faculty, residents, fellows, and staff located at
five diverse hospital sites and accompanying clinics, and basic science research laboratories.
Since 1926 when the
Faculty members and voluntary clinical faculty members serve a diverse patient population with conditions ranging from uncomplicated pregnancies to complex problems such as infertility, cancer, pelvic disease, and congenital anomalies. While our activities are based primarily in metropolitan Atlanta, consultation, treatment, continuing education, and professional leadership as well as the legacy of former residents and fellows, extend globally. Expanding Clinical Programs to Enhance Patient Care Over the years, our divisions have added faculty, programs and facilities to enhance patient care. Health Care Leaders of the Future Our mission includes improving gynecological and obstetric care and education in Atlanta neighborhoods, other communities in the state, and beyond. This outreach is provided by Emory's residency program. More than forty percent of the gynecologists and obstetricians practicing in Georgia received at least part of their education at Emory University School of Medicine. Continuing Education courses provided by our Department help maintain the high quality of obstetric and gynecologic practice in the state. The Emory Regional Training Center not only trains healthcare professionals for practice in medically undeserved areas, but also conducts one of the largerst continuing education programs in the country. The Atlanta-Tbilisi Health Exchange - established in 1992 by the American International Health Alliance, Emory University, Grady Memorial Hospital, and the Morehouse School of Medicine - is one of twenty-one partnerships between U.S. institutions and the republics of the former USSR. The health exchange has provided technical assistance to the Tbilisi ministry of health to establish a National Center for Perinatal Care as well as a regional outreach education system for the dissemination of information and training. The Grady Health System, Emory University, the Georgia Department of Human Resources' Division of Public Health, and Mercy Mobile Health Care (MMHC) are partners in providing perinatal services to homeless and vulnerable women in metro Atlanta. Certified nurse-midwives (CNM) employed by Emory in the Grady Health System provide comprehensive prenatal care at satellite clinics and through the Centering Pregnancy Program. The nurse-midwives are assisted by social workers and by a team of multicutural, multilingual outreach workers. |
