The first year of training provides residents with a strong foundation in obstetrics and gynecology.
Residents spend four months on obstetrics and two months on gynecology.
Also during the first year, residents will spend one month in Family Medicine at SCHI's Family Practice Center, which has 20,000 patient visits each year. In addition, residents are given one month on a Research rotation and receive training in endoscopy, laser and basic sciences and patient care with private practice-like experience. A resident will follow their panel of patients throughout their entire training from the beginning of the second year. During their fourth year of training, residents develop the skills to become capable, independent practitioners and consultants. They spend four months as chief resident in obstetrics, four months as chief resident in gynecology, and four months as chief resident of ambulatory ob-gyn.
