The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Residency Program

Our residency program provides a broad educational experience for those who want to transition into a general obstetrics/gynecology practice. At the same time, opportunities are available to narrow your focus with sub-specialty faculty trained in maternal-fetal medicine, urogynecology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, and gynecologic oncology. Obstetric laborists oversee deliveries in a very busy labor and delivery ward.

Scholarly teaching is a high priority at all levels. All faculty hold academic appointments. Each year the Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology (CREOG) and Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics (APGO) "Excellence in Teaching" awards are presented to the two most acclaimed teachers for their efforts in graduate medical education and undergraduate medical education, respectively. Similarly, an award is presented to the best teaching resident as determined by medical students and rotating interns.
