Gynaecology
Caring for Maritime women through the ages
The Division of Gynaecology is committed to women’s health, with particular emphasis on the reproductive system. Our division is designed to meet the health care needs of women through all stages of life, from the pediatric age group through to menopause. We care for the women of the Maritime provinces through routine and preventative care, medical and/or surgical management, and counselling.
Our doctors are dedicated to excellence in clinical care, continuing professional development, teaching and research in all aspects of women’s health. Our division members are involved in patient safety initiatives, the implementation of clinical guidelines and the development of clinical pathways.

Endometriosis and Chronic Pelvic Pain Clinic
The E&CPP Program offers expert, evidence-based care for endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain through an interdisciplinary team, in line with guidelines from the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC).
