Division Director - Dr. Susan Lareau
The Division of Obstetric Specialties at UPMC Magee Womens Hospital (MWH) is currently comprised of over 30 members from the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences and provides the full breadth of obstetric and gynecologic services throughout the greater Pittsburgh region. The division provides outpatient gynecologic services and both inpatient and outpatient obstetric services. The division's providers are a primary educational group for medical students, residents, and other trainees in general obstetrics.
The division is made up of a diverse group of obstetric providers including physicians and midwives. Senior experienced and skilled clinicians combine with more junior academically-focused obstetric specialists to produce a robust group of dedicated and talented clinicians, educators, and investigators. The division provides obstetric triage services in the MWH Womancare Birth Center triage unit that evaluates more than 15,500 women visits per year, as well as full-time laborist services in the birth center where over 10,000 deliveries occur annually. In addition, this division offers an Obstetric Hospitalist Training program to further train graduated OBGYN residents in hospitalist medicine. The goals of this program are to train highly experienced obstetric hospitalists to be able to function in leadership positions either within the ever-expanding UPMC obstetrics programs or other obstetric hospitalist programs across the country.
