The General Division of Obstetrics and Gynaecology is privileged to have excellent teachers, who pass on knowledge and skills on the core part of our specialty, general obstetrics and gynaecology. In addition, we have many generalists; members who trained with us and went on to acquire additional training in areas of general gynaecology. Their added skills and knowledge benefit our patients, students and faculty.
Our members are committed to excellence in clinical care, and in ensuring continuing professional development, as well as teaching and research in all aspects of women’s health.
Members of our Division remain very involved in academic medicine as well as in their practice, whether full-time members of the greater faculty with administrative, teaching and research responsibilities, or practice in the communities throughout British Columbia. Even those Obstetricians working in non-university communities often retain links with our Division in offering elective opportunities to residents and other students. These allow trainees to experience the “real world” away from an academic center and often away from competition with other learners.
This means that the General Division remains active in all aspects of teaching undergraduate (medical students) and postgraduate (residents), as well as providing mentorship to our members who wish to offer new surgical procedures to their patients while maintaining the highest level of patient safety.
