Get to Know Me

Dr. Margaret Chou is a board-certified obstetrician/gynecologist, medical director of the 消消消消消消消娼瞳 Advanced Delivery Program and the division chief of obstetrics at 消消消消消消消娼瞳 Childrens Hospital, Delaware. She graduated with honors from Harvard, attended NYU School of Medicine, and completed her residency at Stanford. She currently resides in Wilmington with her husband and two cats and is the proud mother of two young adults.

Why I Am an Ob/Gyn With the Advanced Delivery Program

I think Ive wanted to be an Ob/Gyn since Ive been aware that such a profession existed. A person is so much more than their reproductive potential, but it is a privilege to take care of anothers needs across their entire lifespan at deeply personal times.

What I'm Passionate About

Whether it is a delivery where my judgement and skills are desperately needed, or better yet, a delivery where my presence is barely necessary, I still find myself saying I love what I do at 4 a.m. to whoever will listen. Ive always liked everything a general ob/gyn does, but delivering babies has always been at the heart of my professional practice.

I'm also passionate about medical student and resident education.

During time off, I enjoy swimming, bicycling, singing, and ballroom dancing.

How I Try to Make A Difference

Im active in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and a member of both the Delaware Maternal Mortality Review Committee and the Delaware Perinatal Quality Collaborative. I touch the lives of the patients I treat, but my involvement in those organizations helps me learn about and advocate for improvements in systems and state/federal laws in the areas of reproductive justice, health inequities in medicine, and maternal mortality and morbidity. As a clinical assistant professor of ob/gyn and staff physician at Christiana Care, I also feel honored to contribute in small part to the education of the next generation of my profession.
