The full time faculty currently comprise six basic divisions within the department.
Additionally, the residency program relies upon the direct teaching and supervision by the large staff of obstetrician/gynecologists at close-by LDS Hospital under the direction of Dr. T. Flint Porter, chairman. Moreover, a large group of clinical faculty from other Utah locations volunteer their time and talents to the residency and the department. Many are former faculty and residents of the Department of OB/GYN. Residents also benefit from the faculty and staff of the other excellent medical and surgical departments within the School of Medicine at the University of Utah.
The faculty have a wide range of research interests and encourage participation in research projects by residents.
