The Section of General Obstetrics and Gynecology includes nine obstetrician/gynecologists who provide women’s health care services and outreach to the community, and are actively involved in the department’s academic programs.  Dr. Diana Curran is the director of the section.  Dr. Sonja Kinney, Dr. Robert Olesh, Dr. Lloyd Holm, N. Jean Amoura, MD, MSc, Dr. Marvin Stancil, Dr. Jennifer Griffin, Dr. Katherine Finney, and Dr. Sylvia Ziegenbein.  Together, they have a combined 100+ years of experience in women’s health care.  An eighth full-time faculty member, Dr. Neena Agarwala, is fellowship-trained in gynecologic laparoscopy.  She focuses on minimally-invasive treatment of gynecologic conditions, including incontinence and pelvic floor disorders.  In addition to our full-time faculty, Dr. Joseph C. Scott, Jr. is a past chairman of our department.  He now assists with our educational programs and is an Emeritus Professor on our faculty, providing mentoring and guidance to all our faculty and staff, and Dr. Karen Olson is a retired faculty member who assists with the Olson Women's Health Resource Center. 

Each of our general obstetrician/gynecologists provides expert medical care for women of all ages.  Outpatient services are provided at several area locations.  UNMC Physicians at the Durham Outpatient Center on campus is the main site.  Services are also provided at the Omaha Veteran’s Memorial Hospital at 42^nd and Center, and UNMC Physicians clinic sites at Summit Plaza (Hwy 370 @ 36^th), Baker Place (50^th and Ames), UNMC Community Health Center (36th and Q), and Clarkson West (144^th and Center). 

In addition to individual physician practices, Continuity Clinics are offered each day at the Durham site.  These clinics, supervised by our general ob/gyn faculty, are designed to provide hands-on educational experiences in the outpatient setting for our resident physicians-in-training.  Dr. Stancil is the medical director for the Maternal Care program and Dr. Amoura is the medical director of the Family Planning program.  These programs, partially supported by federal entitlement funds, have been established to provide focused care to underserved populations in the Omaha metropolitan area, in order to increase the incidence of early prenatal care, improve maternal and child health outcomes, and reduce the number of unintended pregnancies, especially among teens. 

All inpatient services are provided at The Nebraska Medical Center (formerly the Nebraska Health System).
