Complex Family Planning Fellowship | Obstetrics and Gynecology | UC Davis Health

Our division is a cohesive group of eight fellowship-trained faculty plus our three fellows. We function as family planning specialists with minimal generalist work in a robust academic department.

The University of California, Davis is one of 10 schools in the University of California public education system. UC Davis Health includes the UC Davis Medical Center, UC Davis School of Medicine, and the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing which are primarily located on the UC Davis Sacramento campus.

Division of Family Planning Mission

To promote high-quality, inclusive, patient-centered abortion, contraception, and reproductive health care through clinical expertise, innovative research, education, and advocacy.

Division of Family Planning Vision

Complex Family Planning Fellowship Goals

We train:

• expert clinicians and consultants for primary care physicians and general obstetricians and gynecologists in university, free-standing, urban, and rural settings.
• proficient physician-researchers who will lead or collaborate in diverse projects.
• policy makers and influencers at the California state capitol and in national and international arenas.

Diversity

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and especially our Division of Family Planning, provides care for patients from diverse socioeconomic, cultural and geographic backgrounds. We strive to meet the emotional and cultural needs of our diverse patient population as well as that of our fellows, residents, staff and faculty. The fellowship in Complex Family Planning recognizes the criticality of a diverse clinician workforce that reflects the communities in which we work. To that end, we seek to support and raise up voices that have been traditionally marginalized in academic medicine.

The UC Davis Office of the Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion works to create a climate of inclusion reflected in structures, policies and practices; the demographics of UC Davis Health community; the attitudes and values of its members and leaders; and the quality of personal interactions.

For the ninth consecutive year, UC Davis has been recognized as a leader in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) health equality in the Healthcare Quality Index, an annual survey conducted by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, the educational arm of the country’s largest LGBTQ civil rights organization.

Sacramento is one of the most ethnically and socially diverse cities in America. Throughout your training here you’ll learn to care for patients from around the world and prepare yourself to provide quality healthcare to women who need it.
