Obstetrics and Gynecology

Welcome to Obstetrics and Gynecology

Obstetrics and Gynecology is an exciting field that now encompasses not just the recognized subspecialties of Gynecologic Oncology, Maternal Fetal Medicine, Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, and Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery but also such diverse arenas as reproductive genetics, immunology, infectious diseases, and behavioral medicine. In addition, the role of the obstetrician-gynecologist as a primary care provider is receiving increased attention and recognition.

The major focus of any residency training program remains, however, that of acquiring clinical skills essential for the consultant obstetrician-gynecologist. Our program provides extensive hands-on and didactic experience in the entire spectrum of obstetrical and surgical management. A diverse and energetic full-time faculty oversees training designed to proceed at a comfortable pace, with appropriate, but not over-bearing supervision. This readily available faculty facilitates the application of scientific advances to clinical obstetrics and gynecology. In addition, a dedicated group of volunteer clinical faculty welcome residents' participation in their respective cases.

We congratulate you on choosing obstetrics and gynecology, a unique specialty in which the future possibilities are limitless. We look forward to meeting with you in order to discuss how our training program could serve your needs.
