Education

The educational component of the residency program consists of formal didactics as well as hands on clinical exposure to a wide variety of obstetric and gynecological pathology. To implement the educational objectives of the residency program, the Resident Education Committee was established in 1998. This committee consists of faculty members representative of all major departmental divisions as well as one resident from each academic year. The mission of this committee is to provide a structured environment in which resident education issues are discussed.

Research

The residency program requires active participation in a research project at least once during the four years of residency training. At some time during the residency program, the resident is expected to present this research during the Research Day held each year in June. Although residents are required to present at least once during their four years, they may present as many times as desired.

Special Educational Programs

The residency sponsors a Mentorship Program whereby a faculty member is paired with the resident to provide counseling, support, guidance and feedback to the resident that exceeds purely intellectual development.
