Corrine K. Welt, MD

Women in Salt Lake City and across Utah have access to one of the country's most distinguished PCOS researchers and clinicians through Dr. Corrine K. Welt at the University of Utah. A Professor of Medicine and specialist in reproductive endocrinology, Dr. Welt has led landmark studies on the genetic underpinnings of polycystic ovary syndrome — work that has fundamentally shaped how scientists and clinicians understand why PCOS runs in families and how it manifests so differently across patients.

Her research into the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis has helped clarify the hormonal signaling disruptions at the root of PCOS, and her NIH-funded genetic studies have identified chromosomal regions associated with susceptibility to the condition. For patients who have wondered why their PCOS has been so difficult to manage, or why it seems to affect multiple women in their family, Dr. Welt's research offers some of the most important answers available in the field.

In the clinic, Dr. Welt translates this deep scientific knowledge into personalized care for women navigating PCOS at University of Utah Health. As one of the leading PCOS researchers in the United States, she occupies a rare position where fundamental discovery science and expert patient care intersect daily. For Salt Lake City women looking for a PCOS specialist whose clinical practice is shaped by decades of groundbreaking research, Dr. Welt is an extraordinary resource.
