Welcome to the UBC Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology.
Our department is a provincial department dedicated to the academic mission of the distributed program of the Faculty of Medicine. Part of our mission is to provide the Province with well trained providers in all aspects of women’s health care. Our educational endeavors include the undergraduate curriculum, the residency program, fellowship programs, and a graduate education program. These programs are sited throughout the Province, including Victoria, Nanaimo, Prince George, Kelowna, Kamloops, and the lower mainland. (see Education).
Beyond teaching our specialty, we have a robust investigational program dedicated to defining the state-of-the-art. Our investigational pursuits span the breadth of the specialty from basic, to translational, to clinical, to epidemiological research. (see Research).
Of course, the heart of any academic medical program is the clinical services themselves, and our department provides excellent clinical programs in all aspects of obstetrics and gynaecology. (see Divisions). The department strives to help all obstetrician gynaecologists practicing in British Columbia to keep abreast of new clinical evidence through providing continuing medical education (see Continuing Medical Education). If you are interested in joining our team, I encourage you to look at Career Opportunities.

March of Dimes - Prematurity Research Initiative (PRI) 2013 Program
Deadline: April 15, 2012
The March of Dimes seeks applications requesting grant support for projects related to causes of prematurity. Research proposals of new paradigms based on strong conceptual frameworks are invited. The intent is to provide new insights into the large, and increasing, proportion of preterm deliveries in which the cause (and thus the means of prevention) remains elusive. The proposals need to consider especially, but not limited to, genetics, gene-environment interactions, and animal models. We encourage novel approaches. Applicants must be members of not-for-profit institutions.
March of Dimes - Year 2013 Request for Proposals
Deadline: April 30, 2012
We invite all qualified scientists with faculty appointments or the equivalent, at universitiesl, hospitals and research institutions, to submit applications for research grants directed at the prevention of birth defects. Research subjects appropriate for support by the March of Dimes include basic biological processes governing development, genetics, clinical studies, studies of reproductive health, environmental toxicology, and social and behavioral studies.
