Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology
The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology's strengths in education include a well-established residency program in good standing with the institution and the ACGME. The department has an engaged faculty and representation of every division in residency programs and oversight. In addition to the residency program, it hosts two fellowship programs in MFM (Maternal Fetal Medicine, an ACGME fellowship) and MIGS (Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery — a non-ACGME fellowship) with a total of 6 fellows.
An important emphasis now is on longitudinal engagement with the faculty, to mentor their development over time. This will allow for reflection and introspection, along with potential specialization and focus on areas of special interest individualized to the faculty. Another strength of the department is the collegial and supportive working environment, providing new faculty with high potential to develop productive and rewarding academic careers in obstetrics and gynecology. These faculty will provide the foundation for a new and engaged faculty development program that will offer education opportunities for faculty learners across the spectrum of academic years and interest.
