Dr. William C. Baerthlein ’76

As an obstetrician and gynecologist, Dr. William C. Baerthlein ’76 has greatly impacted the profession of reproductive medicine through his scholarship and expertise on infant delivery methods.

In the 1980s, he wrote the definitive paper comparing maternal and neonatal outcomes following forceps and vacuum delivery methods. Another area of his published research involved a technique for preparing sperm for intrauterine insemination that significantly advanced infertility treatments.

Baerthlein’s research was cited in Williams Obstetrics, the definitive text in the field, and in Obstetrics and Gynecology, the specialty’s premiere journal.

Before retiring from practice in 2012, Baerthlein delivered outstanding gynecological and obstetrical services in 14 states and five different countries during his more than 30 years of active and reserve service with the U.S. Navy. He has brought more than 3,000 babies into the world.

The Pawling, N.Y., native graduated summa cum laude from SUNY Cortland with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry in 1976. Baerthlein earned his medical degree, with honors, from Baylor College of Medicine. He completed his residency in obstetrics-gynecology at the University of Rochester and spent an additional year there on a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility with a faculty appointment.

He has received numerous academic honors.
