Our program
provides high quality postgraduate education for resident physicians,
enabling them to develop medical and surgical skills and other
competencies necessary to become consulting practitioners in the
specialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Clinical education is
complemented by a strong academic program in the basic and applied
clinical sciences.
Each resident gains experience in maternal fetal medicine,
reproductive endocrinology, gynecological oncology, urogynecology,
surgical pathology, genetics and genetic counseling and geriatric
gynecology. Family planning, sexual assault, sexuality counseling and
management of complications of substance abuse are included. Experiences
in primary care, emergency medicine and obstetric critical care are also
an integral part of the curriculum.
An important strength of the clinical education component is resident
involvement in patient care for both service and private patients in
ambulatory settings and the hospital. Residents assist in or perform
deliveries and surgery for private patients with the guidance of
voluntary and full time faculty. Residents, with the assistance of
faculty consultants, are the primary providers of ambulatory care in a
variety of clinics.
The strong clinical component is matched by a substantial academic
focus. Conferences, lectures, seminars and workshops are held during
regularly scheduled protected time. Guest speakers present advances in
the field during weekly Grand Rounds. Pathology conferences, case
conferences, Mortality & Morbidity meetings and special presentations
relate both theory and practice.
Journal Club and research review sessions provide opportunities for
learning Evidence-based Medicine, as well as information on new
developments in the specialty.
