The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Regions Hospital
The Regions Hospital (formerly St. Paul-Ramsey Medical Center), Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program and the University of Minnesota residency program obtained approval from the Residency Review Committee to combine programs in January of 1999. The new program is entitled the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Integrated Residency in Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women's Health.
The Department of OB/GYN at Regions Hospital is committed to providing clinical services, advocacy, community teaching, provider education, and research in the areas of maternal, child, and women's health based on a family-systems perspective.
As part of the OB/GYN residency, the faculty of the OB/Gyn Department seeks to train outstanding practitioners of Obstetrics and Gynecology by providing our residents with the requisite education, skills, and experience.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology
Overview
Regions Hospital (formerly St. Paul-Ramsey Medical Center), has served the community since 1869, when it was established as a city-county institution for the care of the medically needy and critically ill. Until 1965, when the present facilities were built, it was known as the Arthur B. Ancker Memorial Hospital. In 1977, the hospital's name was changed to St. Paul-Ramsey Medical Center to reflect a broader emphasis including outpatient primary care. In 1986 it became a private hospital, and the name was changed to Regions Hospital in 1997. Regions Hospital is a private, non-profit organization and a member of HealthPartners fanily of care.
Currently, Regions Hospital employs almost 4,100 people and provides a wide range of primary and specialty care services. In 2009, Regions Hospital will open the largest facility expansion in its history – an 11-story addition that includes a new emergency department, operating rooms, and inpatient care unit with private rooms.
Teaching
Regions Hospital is also known as a health education center for patients, physicians, nurses, other health professionals and the community. Currently, Regions Hospital offers residencies in Emergency Medicine, Occupational Medicine and Foot & Ankle Surgery, and a fellowship in Medical Toxicology, and participates in training of University of Minnesota residents including OB/GYN, Internal Medicine and General Surgery. As a teaching hospital, Regions prepares health professionals for tomorrow's health care needs.
Over 160 full and part-time medical staff are faculty members of the University of Minnesota Medical School. Approximately 150 medical school graduates receive additional specialty training at Regions Hospital each year. Another 300 students receive postgraduate training in Pharmacy, Public Health, Dentistry and Nursing. Accredited programs for nurse anesthetists, dietitians and technologists in Radiology and Ophthalmology are also based at Regions Hospital.

Certified Nurse Midwife Service
Regions certified nurse midwife service began in 1976. As the oldest and largest hospital-based service in St. Paul, we handle a significant number of the births at Regions. Historically, midwives have offered women attentive, supportive care during childbirth. Today certified nurse midwives (CNM) continue that tradition as highly trained health professionals with a Masters Degree in Midwifery. They offer women of all ages gynecological as well as obstetrical care. Regions CNM service is based on the premise that all women, regardless of social, racial, or religious background are welcome and deserving of our care. Therefore, our service has sought out minority groups and culturally distinct populations within the St. Paul area. Our foremost goal is to keep the patient informed and involved in their own health care, especially when they are a mother-to-be.
