The UK College of Medicine Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology is a strong, multidisciplinary team dedicated to advancing Kentucky health care together. Our department encompasses 47 faculty members, 30 Advanced Practice Providers, and more than 225 learners.
UK HealthCare’s Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB-GYN) specialty ranked No. 28 in the nation in the 2025–2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings. This marks the third consecutive year our program has been recognized as a top national specialty, reflecting the continued dedication of our faculty, staff, and care teams to excellence in women’s health.
The Joint Commission’s Maternal Levels of Care (MLC) Verification program, offered in collaboration with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), named UK HealthCare as a Level IV maternal care verified facility. As a Level IV facility, UK HealthCare provides expert and compassionate care for critically ill and high-risk maternity patients. The MLC Verification program provides an objective assessment of a facility’s capabilities and verifies that a hospital has the expertise, equipment, and resources in place for a patient’s specific needs and risk level. As a top hospital in Kentucky, UK HealthCare provides the highest level of maternity care and receives patients from other hospitals who have high-risk pregnancies or experience complications during labor. UK HealthCare underwent a comprehensive onsite review in early 2025 to verify the level of care provided.
Each year, providers in the department care for thousands of patients across several clinical sites around the state. Currently, the department offers outreach services in ovarian cancer screening, gynecologic oncology, general gynecology, and high-risk obstetrics at more than 24 locations throughout the state. Additionally, 22 new sites are in the planning stages, with some current locations adding more clinic days to better serve patients. The department trains 28 residents and fellows across ACGME accredited programs, while also contributing to the education of medical students and graduate trainees.
Faculty secure over $75 million in grant funding annually to pursue cutting-edge research and discoveries. Our research division offers a dynamic and collaborative environment spanning three key areas of women’s health: reproductive endocrinology and infertility, gynecologic oncology, and maternal fetal medicine. Our research team explores critical questions in ovarian function, hormone regulation, inflammation, and the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. We also lead epidemiologic investigations into the health effects of intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and related adverse outcomes—bridging science with real-world health challenges. With longstanding support from federal agencies such as the NIH and CDC, and a strong record of publication in leading medical and scientific journals, our work reflects a commitment to high-impact, translational research.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Gynecologist
Verify your ECFMG certification before applying
International medical graduates need ECFMG certification to enter U.S. residency programs and practice. Confirm your certification is current and matches your passport name exactly before any employer initiates an H-1B petition on your behalf.
Target cap-exempt hospital systems first
Nonprofit hospitals, academic medical centers, and university-affiliated health systems can file H-1B petitions year-round without lottery exposure. Prioritize these employers so your start date isn't contingent on the annual April registration window.
Check DOL prevailing wage levels using OFLC Wage Search
Gynecologist prevailing wages vary significantly by geography and employer size. Run your target metropolitan area through OFLC Wage Search before negotiating your offer to confirm the employer's proposed salary meets or exceeds the certified LCA wage level.
Search H-1B-sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter gynecologist openings by employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history in OB-GYN and women's health. This surfaces which health systems have an active sponsorship track record before you invest time in the application process.
Request premium processing when your start date is fixed
If your employment agreement includes a hard start date tied to hospital credentialing or academic calendar cycles, ask the employer to file with premium processing. USCIS adjudicates premium I-129 petitions within 15 business days, reducing credentialing timeline conflicts.
Align state medical licensure with your H-1B filing state
USCIS requires that specialty occupation evidence include state licensure for clinical roles. Your license must be issued by the state where you'll practice. Begin the state board application in parallel with your employer's H-1B preparation to avoid petition delays.
H-1B Visa Gynecologist: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a gynecologist role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes. Gynecologist positions require a Doctor of Medicine or Osteopathic Medicine degree, residency completion, and board eligibility or certification in obstetrics and gynecology. USCIS recognizes this degree requirement as meeting the specialty occupation threshold. The O*NET classification for physicians and surgeons further supports this designation in petition documentation.
Which types of employers sponsor H-1B visas for gynecologists?
Academic medical centers, nonprofit hospital systems, federally qualified health centers, and large multispecialty group practices are the most common H-1B sponsors for gynecologists. Many of these qualify as cap-exempt organizations, meaning they can file outside the annual lottery. You can search for gynecologist roles at these employer types on Migrate Mate, filtered by LCA filing history.
Can I work as a gynecologist on H-1B while my green card is being processed?
Yes. H-1B status allows concurrent employment authorization and green card sponsorship. If your employer files an I-140 immigrant petition and your priority date is backlogged, AC21 portability lets you extend your H-1B beyond the standard six-year cap in one-year or three-year increments while the permanent residency process continues.
What documentation does my employer need to file my H-1B as a gynecologist?
Your employer must obtain a certified LCA from DOL before filing Form I-129 with USCIS. Supporting documentation typically includes your medical degree and transcripts, ECFMG certification for international graduates, residency completion records, state medical license for the practice location, and a detailed letter describing the specialty occupation duties of the role.
How does hospital credentialing interact with my H-1B start date?
Hospital credentialing is separate from the H-1B approval process and often takes 60 to 120 days after an offer is accepted. If your credentialing finishes before your H-1B effective date, you can't begin clinical work. Coordinate both timelines with your employer early so the I-129 filing, any premium processing election, and credentialing completion align before your intended start.
