1. A balance needs to exist between education
and service needs; and
2. Respect and a professional demeanor should
exist in the relationships among all members of the department.
The
program provides for a superior resident educational milieu which
balances the wide ranging and challenging population served and
the academic excellence demanded by the department. The foundation
of the program, which is fully accredited by the ACGME and based
upon the CREOG Educational Objectives, is its written curriculum
which specifies the educational topics and goals relevant to current
training in obstetrics and gynecology and required for board certification.
These requirements are met by either direct patient contact or
didactic sessions (commonly by both) during the four year training
period.
 The
strength of our program resides in the spectrum of patients and
the diversity of the attendings to which our residents are exposed.
The combination of generalists in obstetrics and gynecology from
both the community and full time faculty complements the subspecialty
faculty providing patient care. Unlike some urban university medical
centers, the patient population cared for by our residents represents
a balanced mixture of private and service patients.
The figures noted in the “Curriculum” section
outline the typical experience of the resident. The program is
in the midst of increasing the resident complement. We currently
offer four PGY1 positions (3 categorical, 1 preliminary).
