Dr. Vause is the Division Head for Reproductive Medicine and is an Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Ottawa and an attending physician at the Ottawa Hospital. She is a consultant physician and director of the Ottawa Fertility Centre. She is certified by the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers in obstetrical and gynecological ultrasound. She stays current in her field through ongoing research, training courses, and conferences, and by teaching colleagues, medical fellows, residents, and medical students.

Dr. Vause’s fertility practice includes all areas of reproductive and infertility care. She strongly believes the most important thing in a doctor-patient relationship is communication. Having undergone fertility issues and treatment herself, Dr. Vause emphasises the power of communication and patient experience, ensuring that you are heard and understood, and guiding you through all the steps of diagnosis and treatment. She has experienced both sides of the relationship, as a patient searching for answers, and as a doctor trying to provide support and care. Dr. Vause also counsels couples to optimize their pre-pregnancy health, to maximize their fertility outcomes. She welcomes all new patients to her practice and aims to help you navigate this challenging time in life and find your path to a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Dr. Vause came to Ottawa in 2008 following her medical degree and residency, in order to complete her Fellowship with the Ottawa Fertility Centre. She fell in love with this city, met her husband, and they have built their life in the city ever since. Outside of work, Dr. Vause enjoys spending quality time with family and focusing on health and fitness.
