The postgraduate program in obstetrics and gynecology advances six physicians at each level through four years of training in a non-pyramidal system. The program is designed to provide the house officer with broad clinical training in all aspects of obstetrics and gynecology in addition to exposure to the subspecialty areas. The program is designed to adequately prepare the resident for practice in Obstetrics and Gynecology, subspecialty fellowship, and an academic career. The department has a substantial commitment to teaching and research. Residents are appointed to the teaching staff of the School of Medicine and participate actively in the student teaching program.
All house officers receive three weeks vacation per year.
There is also a holiday in December. In addition, each PGY-4 resident attends a major national meeting. Health and disability insurance, uniforms, parking and on-call rooms are provided. Completed applications and credentials received before November 10 are reviewed by the Resident Selection Committee for selection of candidates to be invited for formal interviews. We do not require a Chairman's letter.
