Jane Schulz serves as Professor and Chair of the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology within the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Alberta, where she leads clinical, research, and educational initiatives in urogynecology.
Her academic foundation includes:
- Graduation from the University of Alberta (1992)
- Residency training at the University of Alberta
- Fellowship at the University of London and University of Toronto
Schulz specializes in pelvic floor disorders with core expertise in urinary/fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and pelvic floor dysfunction. Her clinical practice integrates surgical innovation with multidisciplinary approaches, particularly for complex urogynecological cases. She actively supervises fellows, residents, and summer students through clinical audits and research projects focused on tertiary care challenges.
Analysis of her 13 most recent publications (2013-2021) reveals evolving research trajectories: early work centered on surgical techniques for incontinence/prolapse (2013-2015), while recent studies (2020-2021) address virtual care during pandemics, transgender surgical access barriers, international obstetric injury trends, immigrant women's health literacy, and cannabis for chronic pelvic pain. Her work consistently bridges clinical practice with global health applications, including initiatives in rural Bangladesh.
No major scientific awards were explicitly documented in the source material. Schulz demonstrates significant mentorship impact as primary supervisor for fellow research projects and co-supervisor for resident initiatives, while securing collaborative grants for international continence projects and Urogynecology Wellness Program development.
She directs the Urogynecology Wellness Program and multidisciplinary perineal clinics, with notable contributions to clinical guideline development including the pessary use technical update where she served as lead author.
