About the Residency Program in Obstetrics and Gynecology:

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at The Ohio State University Medical Center considers the education of its residents to be one of its most important responsibilities and is proud to have on its faculty clinicians and investigators who have been widely recognized for their teaching skills.

The residents in Obstetrics and Gynecology at The Ohio State University are part of The Ohio State University/ Mt. Carmel Health Integrated Training Program in Obstetrics and Gynecology. This exciting program offers the best of two worlds – the strength of a large academic medical center teamed with the strength of leading community hospitals.

Our fully accredited four-year residency program consists of 42 residents. The residents participate in clinical activities at three sites: Ohio State University Medical Center, Mt. Carmel West Hospital and Mt. Carmel St. Ann’s Hospital.Our faculty includes academicians and researchers, hospital-based physicians and private practitioners.  The Ohio State University’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology comprises six specialty divisions and has more than 25 full-time faculty who supervise inpatient and outpatient training in obstetrics and gynecology. The faculty at Mount Carmel Health System includes over 25 practicing Ob/Gyn specialists.  Faculty members at all of our hospitals also offer training expertise in advanced surgical techniques with basic and clinical research.

This residency program offers outstanding resources for general obstetrics and gynecology and their subspecialties plus a strong base in ambulatory care.  Our goal is to help you gain the experience and skill necessary for a successful, rewarding career.  We have included outpatient training, plus inpatient care of complex patients and a structured didactic curriculum that meets all RRC accreditation requirements and CREOG objectives.

The educational objectives for our Residency Training Program are as follows:

• To train competent and compassionate clinicians who will deliver state-of-the-art complete health care for women in a humane and personalized manner.
• To provide a solid foundation in general obstetrics and gynecology to prepare the resident for a career in general obstetrics and gynecology or fellowship training.
• To provide residents with a basic understanding of, and appreciation for research methodology within our specialty.  Our goal is to help each resident develop the ability to critically evaluate medical literature and develop a scholarly approach to patient care which she/he will maintain throughout her/his career.
• To help our residents develop a true appreciation and understanding of the diversity within our nation so that they can provide medical care in a compassionate, non-judgmental manner.
