Welcome to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology
Vision
To boldly reimagine the possibilities in women’s health through innovation, education and partnership by advancing Meharry’s impact across Tennessee and the nation.
Mission
Meharry’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology exists to set the standard for comprehensive women’s care, prevent disease through evidence-based screening and education, and innovate in value-based models that improve outcomes and equity. We foster a culture of accountability and integrity, working shoulder-to-shoulder with leaders, staff, trainees, and students to elevate reproductive care and education in Tennessee and nationwide.
Executive Summary
Women’s health care is foundational to family health. Exceptional women’s health care not only improves individual and collective health outcomes but also plays a critical role in the financial sustainability of the healthcare system:
- Increased patient visit revenue across departments
- Increased downstream ancillary services revenue
- Imaging
- Laboratory
- Procedures
- Research funding, innovation, and reputation
To provide comprehensive care to our patients and train the next generation of leaders, we must recruit top-tier teaching faculty to build a strong academic department:
- Offer competitive salaries benchmarked to national standards
- Modernize academic spaces
- Expand clinical sites that reflect community standards
- Lead in teaching innovation
