Curriculum

The curriculum for our residency program provides a comprehensive education in obstetrics and gynecology in a challenging yet supportive environment. Under the direct supervision of our faculty, residents are given increasing responsibility as they progress through the years to becoming a well-rounded ob-gyn physician.

Our residents have extensive exposure with case log numbers often exceeding the ACGME requirements, even as Primary Surgeon. Our residents are guaranteed significant gynecologic and obstetric case involvement on a direct and regular basis.

Our formal weekly protected hours (didactics) occur every Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Our lectures include an intern lecture series in July, grand rounds once a month with professional development sessions, chapter reviews, mock orals and various simulations. We also have informal teaching at pre-op and MFM conferences on a weekly basis. We also engage all residents in junior M&M where junior residents are supervised in presenting cases in an oral boards format. Similarly, senior residents are allocated educational mentors to assist them with preparation for the monthly departmental presentations of cases in an oral boards format. Many of our program activities are held online (such as Grand Rounds and M&M) while others are in person (such as simulations and journal club).

Our department also focuses highly on mental and physical health of the residents, and regularly offers dedicated time for personal care and wellness.
