About Our Faculty
Our department is one of the most comprehensive obstetrics and gynaecology departments in North America, with 300 faculty members in six full-affiliated and nine community-affiliated hospitals.
Our faculty comprises experts in all areas of women's health, ranging from management of high-risk pregnancies, to reproductive endocrinology and infertility, to gynaecologic oncology and minimally invasive surgery, among many others. Our members form a extensive group of clinicians, educators, translational scientists and basic scientists who continuously strive to change the delivery and quality of patient care not only for the women and babies in Toronto's diverse population, but also in the health care system across Canada and internationally.
Each year, our faculty continues to grow with talented and dedicated physicians in research and clinical care. See our faculty directory for the full list.
