Focus on Faculty: Division of General Obstetrics and Gynecology at OSU

The General Division of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology was re-organized in 1989 with four full-time faculty members. It has now grown to a group of fourteen full-time Faculty members. The division is recognized throughout the region as one of the largest and most academically diversified divisions in the region offering comprehensive healthcare to women throughout their life cycle.

Division members not only devote time to faculty-based practice in primary obstetrics and gynecology but also pursue a wide range of areas of specialized interests, participate in clinically based research, and serve as the principal educators in the medical community. In addition to general Obstetrics and Gynecology, the specialty services that are offered within the General Division include the following:

Pre invasive cervical cancer screening including colposcopy
Vulvar clinic
Urogynecology and pelvic floor
Menopause
Pediatric and adolescent gynecological care
Gynecologic infectious diseases
Family planning and contraception
Pelvic pain
Gynecological ultrasound
Minimally invasive surgery including robotic-assisted surgery
Sexual health.

Additionally, members of the division are active in national organizations regarding women’s health. The division strives to give the highest quality of comprehensive care for all women throughout Central Ohio and the surrounding region. We work closely with the other divisions within our department which include Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Gynecologic Oncology, Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, and urogynecology. By combining the resources of the department as a whole as well as the University Medical Center we are able to offer the most comprehensive care for women throughout this area.

The division also offers 24 hour consulting support to regional obstetricians and gynecologists in the area as well as all providers of women’s health. NetWellness experts currently active in the division include Deborah A Bartholomew, MD, Cynthia B Evans, MD, Lisa M Keder, MD, MPH, and Jonathan A. Schaffir, MD.
