ob gyn residency patient examIn the first year, rotations in obstetrics and four blocks of gynecology provide the initial experience for the resident. Additional time is spent in OB/GYN ultrasound, a basic and vital aspect of current evaluation and management in obstetrics and gynecology. Four week blocks in the Emergency Department, Pediatrics and Ambulatory Medicine are also included. A night float rotation will be required of both the PGY1 and PGY2 residents.

The PGY2 resident is expected to begin the process of undertaking progressively increasing responsibility and autonomy on both the obstetric and gynecologic services. A second rotation in OB/GYN ultrasound includes time spent with genetic counseling in addition to additional exposure to GYN scanning techniques. Rotation in the Intensive Care Unit, the GYN Oncology service and an elective complete the second postgraduate year.

The PGY3 resident becomes skilled in major GYN procedures and the diagnosis and management of fetal problems. To achieve these goals, blocks in Obstetrics and Gynecology are supplemented with a rotation in Maternal Fetal Medicine in both inpatient and outpatient services. Time is also devoted to Urogynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology.

Ob gyn residency programDuring the PGY4 year, residents function as the Chief Resident on the GYN, GYN Oncology and OB services. Responsibilities include management of our most challenging patients and administrative functions. Time is set aside for board preparation as well as the completion and presentation of the resident’s research project.

A night float rotation will be required of both the PGY1 and PGY2 residents. Subspecialty rotations will include MFM, RE, Urogynecology and GYN Oncology.

Our program is a dynamic and challenging environment in which you will have available all the necessary components to allow for your development as a state-of-the-art provider of obstetrics and gynecology. Don’t miss out on the opportunity!
