athenaOne for Specialties
OB-GYN Specialty Overview
OB-GYN specialties encompass the core domains of obstetrics and gynecology while branching into focused subspecialties that address specific patient needs across a patient’s lifespan. The umbrella includes maternal-fetal medicine for high-risk pregnancies, gynecologic oncology for cancer care in the female reproductive system, reproductive endocrinology and infertility for fertility and hormonal disorders, and female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery for pelvic floor disorders.
Other integrated areas often linked to OB-GYN practice include urogynecology, pediatric and adolescent gynecology, gynecologic imaging, and minimally invasive surgery. Together, these specialties enable a continuum of care—from preconception and pregnancy to menopause and beyond—within coordinated care frameworks.
