UCSF Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences

What UCSF Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences does

UCSF Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences is an academic medical department within the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine, providing clinical care, translational research, and medical education across the full reproductive lifespan. The department operates multiple clinical service lines — including the Center for Reproductive Health (ranked #1 in California and #5 nationally by Newsweek in 2025), Gynecologic Oncology, Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery, OB Hospital Medicine, and Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility — delivered across UCSF Health campuses (Mission Bay, Parnassus, Mount Zion), Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, and a Fresno extension.

Its research enterprise is anchored by NIH-funded centers including the Center for Reproductive Sciences, ANSIRH (the home of the landmark Turnaway Study, whose director received a MacArthur Fellowship in 2023), the Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health (200+ multidisciplinary members), the Center for Birth Justice, the UCSF-Stanford ENACT Endometriosis Center, and the Program for Reproductive Health and the Environment. The department has held the #1 or #2 rank in NIH grant funding among OB/GYN departments nationally for nearly twenty years and is a federally designated National Center of Excellence in Women's Health.

Commercially, the department generates revenue through three streams: clinical care delivered via the UCSF Health system (prenatal care, fertility treatments, gynecologic oncology, reproductive health), NIH and grant-funded research, and medical education programs including residency, the ACGME-accredited Complex Family Planning Fellowship, and the originating Ryan Residency Training Program. Patient access is via UCSF Health's provider finder, referrals, and direct clinic appointments. Notable differentiation includes eight dedicated programs for Black birthing patients (EMBRACE, Black Wellness Clinic, Black Wellness Center, Center for Birth Justice, Black Centering, Team Lily, and others) addressing documented maternal mortality disparities, and partnerships with financing platforms (Future Family) and fertility preservation nonprofits (Chick Mission, Alliance for Fertility Preservation).
