The University of Toledo College of Medicine in Toledo, Ohio  supports a strong academic residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology.

The Educational Objectives of our program are:
   1. Encourage practice based on evidenced-based scientific medicine
   2. Obtain appropriate clinical experience and knowledge
   3. Obtain appropriate specialty and subspecialty training
   4. Enhance personal and professional growth

Our program encourages practicing evidence-based scientific medicine and a strong academic foundation. We provide four hours per week of required academic conferences for all residents along with daily and weekly conferences and rounds on each particular service. Our residents routinely score in the 80^th percentile on their in-service examinations.

We provide a busy clinical experience in general gynecology, general obstetrics, gynecologic oncology, reproductive endocrinology, maternal-fetal medicine, and urogynecology. Our clinical volume ranks approximately in the 75^th percentile in the country. 

We have a strong full-time faculty which covers all subspecialties along with a sizable clinical faculty. Our full-time faculty includes board-certified Ob/Gyn specialists, as well as subspecialists in gynecologic oncology, reproductive endocrinology, urogynecology, and maternal-fetal medicine.

Our program strongly supports resident research and scholarly activity. All residents must complete a minimum of one research project during their residency. In the past four years we have had 16 publications in peer review journals by our residents. This includes the two lead articles in the First Annual Residents Research Edition of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. In this same time period, we have also had 5 abstracts presented at national meetings.

Finally, the hospitals in our residency program have adequate on-call rooms, lounges, cafeterias, and computer-retrieval systems. In-house night call varies from every 4^th - 6^th night. Approximately half of night call during the PGY-3 and PGY-4 years is taken from home.
