Program Components

Curriculum

Our OB-GYN resident curriculum focuses on progressive responsibility in a well-supervised, safe learning environment. Our goal is for our graduating residents to be fully independent to care for a wide variety of conditions, both medically and surgically.

Research

Our formal research curriculum exposes residents to innovative thinking from the start of residency.  Each resident:

  • is assigned a research mentor.
  • participates in formal didactic activities instructing residents in research methodology.
  • designs a research project over the four years of residency.  

Past residents have published articles in major journals and participated in poster presentations at regional and national meetings.
