OB/GYN Residency program facts
Contact usThe Aurora OB/GYN Residency program provides a supportive academic and clinical environment for resident physicians to develop the skills needed to become quality practitioners in the specialty of obstetrics and gynecology.
Clinical education, which is complemented by a strong academic program in the basic and applied clinical sciences, involves residents in patient care in ambulatory care settings and the hospital, including assisting in and performing deliveries and surgery.
Each resident gains experience in general obstetrics and gynecology, as well as:
- Maternal fetal medicine
- Reproductive endocrinology
- Gynecological oncology
- Urogynecology
- Genetics and genetic counseling
Family planning, sexual assault, sexuality counseling and management of complications of substance abuse are included. Experiences in primary care, emergency medicine and obstetric critical care are also an integral part of the curriculum.
Residents participate one half day a week in their own personal continuity clinic, which is located at our main Aurora Sinai Medical Center campus. Continuity clinics consist of a wide range of patient care. Additionally, conferences, lectures, seminars and workshops are held during regularly scheduled protected education time on Friday mornings.
