The first-year resident rotates through ambulatory and inpatient internal medicine, obstetrics and night float, benign gynecology, obstetric clinics, ultrasound/ genetics, and continuity care clinics.

Emphasis is placed on history and physical exam skills, normal obstetrics, and benign gynecology. Residents learn and perform uncomplicated vaginal and Caesarean deliveries and gain experience with operative vaginal deliveries, and minor and major gynecological surgery procedures.

During the second-year, the resident rotates through obstetrics and night float, gynecology/gynecology surgery, gynecologic oncology, and the continuity care clinics.

During this year, residents increase the level of participation in major gynecologic surgeries, including oncology cases.

The gynecologic surgery rotation takes place at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital and Bon Secours DePaul Medical Center.

The third-year resident assumes chief-level responsibilities on the reproductive endocrinology service and the urogynecology service.

In the fourth year, residents again rotate through maternal-fetal medicine, benign gynecology, gynecology oncology and the ambulatory care clinics.

At this point, the resident assumes full responsibility for his or her patients and greater teaching responsibility for fellow residents and medical students.
