Welcome!

Our program's aim to graduate safe and competent, compassionate and caring residents and students. Our purpose for didactic time, be it grand rounds, journal club, faculty development, or didactic lectures is to enhance resident breadth and depth of OBGYN practice and understanding beyond education from daily patient care. In journal club, we often review FDA studies on various obstetric and gynecologic interventions to enhance patient counseling, review landmark studies, or evaluate various study designs and learn how to apply new evidence into practice. Journal club has also served as the launch pad for new protocol development within our department. In Grand Rounds, we have hosted a plethora of illuminating speakers and value outside perspectives as well as that of our own local experts. Some Grand Rounds topics and didactic lectures feature an aspect of OBGYN care that we may not routinely offer, such as fetal surgery, while others are intended to update departmental understanding of common or uncommonly encountered medical problems, such as management of benign breast disease. Linking ACGME objectives to grand round topics has been a rewarding means to ensure that we are providing top notch comprehensive education to resident learners. Faculty development has thus far honed skills that physician leaders otherwise may not learn in their scientific education so that residents may feel equipped to effect positive change in their future work place.

Residency is an incredible odyssey, not limited to obgyn education or just patient care, but growth of the self as well. We hope all of your time with our entire faculty, residents, midwives, nurses and staff, especially our patients, helps you along your way professionally and personally.
