Tom G. Sullivan, MD, FACOG

Although born in Kansas City, Missouri, I am pretty much a Kansan having been raised and educated in the State.  I graduated from high school in Wichita, received my undergraduate degree at the University of Kansas and medical degree from University of Kansas School of Medicine.  I spent one year as an intern at St. John’s Hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma in affiliation with the University of Oklahoma School of Medicine.  I then served as a flight surgeon with the United States Air Force at Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, returning to KUMC in 1975 to begin my ob/gyn residency training. I remained on the KUMC Faculty for one year after completing my residency, then entered private practice with Kansas City Women’s Clinic and remained with that group for 23 years until Dr. John Calkins convinced me to return to academic medicine on July 1, 2002. 

I am board certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.  I am a member of many medical societies including: locally the Kansas City Gynecological Society of which I am a past President, was a Founding Member of the Kermit E. Krantz Society, am a Life Member of the Kansas University Alumni Association, and a member of the Johnson/Wyandotte County Medical Society and Kansas Medical Society;  nationally the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Central Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Society of Cervical Cytology and Pathology and am currently serving as the Section Chair of the Kansas Section in District VII of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

I am what is referred to in our specialty as a generalist and enjoy the active practice of both obstetrics and gynecology.  I have particular interest in gynecologic surgery including laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, colposcopy and the evaluation of the abnormal Pap smear and the management of the menopausal patient including hormone therapy.

I have enjoyed my return to academic medicine and the challenges of teaching medical students and residents, but still most enjoy seeing and taking care of patients.
