As part of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Creighton University Medical Center (CUMC), the team includes academic generalists and sub-specialists in maternal fetal medicine and urogynecology. The department works closely with advanced practice providers, neonatology, anesthesiology, nursing, and ancillary staff to deliver comprehensive care.

The division is fully staffed with a seasoned group of certified sonographers, two dedicated genetic counselors, and an integrated fetal center. The ultrasound unit features five E10 machines with Viewpoint software fully integrated into the Epic EMR. Currently a cohesive team of two MFM physicians, the division is actively recruiting a third and fourth physician to support its growth.
