Yale ObGyn & Reproductive Sciences

The Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, & Reproductive Sciences at Yale School of Medicine has a long history of advancing women’s medicine dating back to the early 1900s.

Pioneering discoveries include the invention of the fetal heart monitor, the concept of Rooming-in [where mother and newborn are kept and cared for together], and novel etiologies and treatments for endometriosis.

As a worldwide leader in women’s medicine, the goal of advancing women’s reproductive health is just as crucial as providing high-quality instruction for the next generation of physicians in family planning, gynecologic oncology, obstetric specialties and midwifery, and more. 

Hugh Taylor, MD, the Anita O’Keeffe Young Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences, as well as professor of molecular, cellular, and developmental biology, has been chair of Yale School of Medicine Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, & Reproductive Sciences since 2012.
