Job description

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine is seeking a highly qualified individual to join our tenure track or non-tenure clinical track, based on clinical experience and research interests in our Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI) Division. Rank will be commensurate with experience. Participation in clinical and educational activities of the division, including our fellowship, is required. The applicant must be committed to fellow, resident, and medical student education, as well as patient care.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Our department's strength lies in its interdisciplinary team, which includes physicians, nurse midwives, advanced practice nurses, physician associates, genetic counselors, sonographers, and embryologists. We are committed to excellence in education through a competency-based curriculum, mentoring clinical and research efforts, and supporting four ACGME-accredited fellowship programs and a Clinical Nurse Midwife training program. Additionally, we collaborate with the UI Departments of Urology, Psychiatry, Ethics, Family Medicine, the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the Stead Family Department of Pediatrics and Children's Hospital. We are the only academic health system in Iowa and are recognized as leaders in healthcare for all Iowans.

Arguably the most distinguished member of the department, Denise Jamieson, MD, MPH, serves as the vice president for medical affairs and dean of the UI Carver College of Medicine at the University of Iowa. She brings extensive expertise in obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) and advocacy for our department. Her background ensures a strong focus on women's health, maternal care, and emerging infectious diseases in pregnancy—areas critical to medical education and research. Her leadership is particularly valuable in addressing health disparities and improving maternal health outcomes.

Our chair and Department Executive Officer, Christian Pettker, MD, is dedicated to the growth and success of our department and strongly supports the continued success and expansion of the REI division.

Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

Our faculty practice includes both inpatient and outpatient activities, emphasizing our role as Iowa's only quaternary academic referral center. Inpatient responsibilities involve overseeing postsurgical patients and consults. Outpatient services provide comprehensive care for a broad range of reproductive endocrinology and infertility issues, including preimplantation genetic testing, oncofertility, fertility preservation, third-party reproduction, and adolescent and pediatric gynecology cases, offering both consultative and complete care. We interpret all gynecology ultrasounds for our hospital system, which comprises:

• Two hospitals
• Three outpatient locations

Our ultrasound unit is accredited by the American Institute for Ultrasound in Medicine. Additionally, we have two part-time genetic counselors, shared with the Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine.
