"Assistant Professor or Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Director of Labor and Delivery, Allen Hospital Division"

The Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center has long been a national leader in advancing women’s reproductive health. We are the birthplace of the Apgar score, the first institution in the country to perform amniocentesis, and the center that developed RhoGAM—an innovation that has virtually eliminated Rh incompatibility reactions, which once caused hundreds of fetal and neonatal deaths and illnesses each year.

Located within the heart of CUIMC’s vibrant medical community, the department brings together more than 100 physicians and over 40 post-graduate residents and fellows who collaborate closely with researchers and clinicians across the medical center to meet the full spectrum of women’s health needs. We remain committed to our mission: delivering exceptional patient care, training the next generation of Ob/Gyn leaders, supporting groundbreaking research, and translating those discoveries into clinical practice.
