The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine is seeking a highly qualified individual to join our tenure track or non-tenure clinical track consistent with clinical experience and research interest in our Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI) Division. Rank will be commensurate with experience. Participation in clinical and educational activities of the division, including our fellowship, is required. The applicant must be committed to fellow, resident, and medical student education and patient care.
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology
Our department's strength lies in its interdisciplinary team, which includes physicians, nurse midwives, advanced practice nurses, physician associates, genetic counselors, sonographers, and embryologists. We are committed to excellence in education through a competency-based curriculum, mentoring clinical and research efforts, and supporting four ACGME-accredited fellowship programs and a Clinical Nurse Midwife training program. Additionally, we work with the UI Departments of Urology, Psychiatry, Ethics, Family Medicine, the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the Stead Family Department of Pediatrics and Children's Hospital. We are the only academic health system in Iowa and are looked to as the leaders in healthcare for all Iowans.
Arguably the most distinguished member of the department, Denise Jamieson, MD, MPH serves as the vice president for medical affairs and dean of the UI Carver College of Medicine at the University of Iowa. She brings a wealth of expertise in obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) and advocacy for our department. Her background ensures a strong focus on women’s health, maternal care, and emerging infectious diseases in pregnancy, which are critical areas in medical education and research. Her leadership is particularly beneficial in addressing health disparities and improving maternal health outcomes.
Our chair and Department Executive Officer Christian Pettker, MD, is dedicated to the growth and success of our department. He is a key supporter for the maintained success and growth of the REI division.
