The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology accepts candidates into its four-year training program immediately following graduation from medical school. The program is approved by the Liaison Committee on Graduate Medical Education for four years of graduate medical education upon completion of medical school. Training can also be arranged for those who have completed internships (Housestaff I) in Medicine or Surgery. Eligibility for the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) is achieved upon completion of the four-year accredited training program.
Residents and Faculty
Numerous opportunities exist for residents to develop working relationships with the faculty including the following:
Daily: service rounds with the attendings.
Weekly: grand rounds, oncology-pathology conference, endocrine-infertility conference, obstetrical complications conference, gynecologic complications conference, resident lecture series.
Monthly: journal club
Each resident is assigned to a faculty preceptor. Faculty evaluate residents on each rotation and conduct semi-annual resident evaluation sessions. There is a special resident/faculty committee that meets regularly to consider issues important to the residency-training program. There is a monthly housestaff meeting with the program director and assistant residency director
Research Projects
Prior to graduation, each resident is required to complete a research project in an area of interest to him/her. Research opportunities are available in all sections of the Department, and a faculty member sponsors each project. Residents present their projects at the end of the PGY 3 year. Most of the residents also present their projects later at national meetings and/or publish them in peer-review journals.
