Our
residents care for a mix of urban and suburban patients within
a department that provides both primary and tertiary services.
By providing them with both practical and academic training and
balancing supervision with progressive autonomy, we believe we
offer an ideal framework for the education of a houseofficer
in Obstetrics and Gynecology. In addition, our residents are
exposed to techniques of clinical research and managed care.
We are proud that our residency program offers an experience that
provides future OB/GYNs with the knowledge and skills to provide
superior patient care as well as providing a sound foundation for
further training in the subspecialty areas of Gynecologic Oncology,
Maternal Fetal Medicine, Reproductive Endocrinology and Urogynecology.
The Department
of Obstetrics and Gynecology provides primary and tertiary levels
of care for women in central and northern New Jersey. The Department
is composed of 11 full time specialists and subspecialists in obstetrics
and gynecology. In addition, there are many voluntary attendings
who provide services at The Beth and utilize our subspecialty expertise.
The Department is also home to an active midwifery practice, as
well as a core clerkship in obstetrics and gynecology for medical
students from St. George’s University. Additional providers
include a certified genetic counselor, a registered dietician,
social worker, and registered diagnostic sonographers.
The centerpiece of the department is a fully-approved residency
with 10 resident physicians at present. The program includes both
categorical and preliminary positions in obstetrics and gynecology.
In recent years, about half our graduates have remained to practice
in the community and the other half have gone on to fellowship
positions in Urogynecology and Maternal Fetal Medicine.
A new LDR was opened in 2004. It includes an enlarged triage area
as well as eleven labor/delivery/recovery rooms. Two fully-equipped
operating suites and a conference room complete the LDR suite.
The outpatient facilities are housed within the hospital complex
in the Family Health Center. State-of-the-art equipment for colposcopy
complements the extensive resources available. The OB/GYN Ultrasound
Lab houses five state-of-the-art ultrasound machines with both
3-D and 4-D capabilities.
