Janice Werbinski, MD, FACOG, Obstetrician-Gynecologist
Get to know Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Janice Werbinski, who served patients in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Dr. Werbinski is a Clinical Associate Professor, Emerita, in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Teaching a course there in Sex and Gender Specific Medicine, she shows medical students that when males and females are studied separately in cell, tissue, animal, and human research, many differences are uncovered. Many diseases have different presentation, evaluation, treatment, and outcomes when examined through a sex-specific lens.
With a solid educational background, Dr. Werbinski graduated from Western Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Medical Technology in June 1969. She then went on to earn her Medical Degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin in June 1975, after which she completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Sparrow Hospital in June 1979.
Subsequent to her training, the doctor attained board certification in obstetrics and gynecology through the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The mission of the ABOG is to define standards, certify obstetricians and gynecologists, and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women’s health.
Having practiced women’s health and gynecology for 34 years in Kalamazoo, Dr. Werbinski retired from clinical practice in 2014. She is the former Medical Director of Bronson Women’s Center, Borgess Women’s Health, and the Kalamazoo YWCA Sexual Assault Center. At Michigan State University, she authored a curriculum for a Women’s Health Track in an Internal Medicine Residency.
Serving as the Founding President of the American College of Women’s Health Physicians, Dr. Werbinski worked diligently to establish a dedicated medical specialty in Women’s Health.
Additionally, she held the position of Executive Director for the Sex and Gender Women’s Health Collaborative, a platform designed to educate students and healthcare professionals in the field of sex- and gender-appropriate medicine.
Obstetrics and Gynecology is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties. An obstetrician-gynecologist, or OB-GYN, is a healthcare professional who specializes in female reproductive health.
A passionate advocate for transformative changes in the medical landscape, Dr. Werbinski aims to revolutionize the delivery of healthcare for women by recognizing the diverse ways in which women’s health and needs differ from those of men. She has published several peer-reviewed articles, an iBook, and a book chapter in sex and gender specific health.
Residing in Kalamazoo, Dr. Werbinski enjoys living near her two daughters, their families, and her two granddaughters, Olivia and Audrey.
