Obstetrics/Gynecology
Residency Program
Welcome to the Eastern Virginia Medical
School Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Web site. I invite you to
review our fully accredited four-year academic program that offers the
advantages of a community-based atmosphere in a nurturing environment.
We prepare our graduates for clinical practice in the private and
academic sectors, with 25 percent of our residents pursuing fellowships
and 75 percent choosing private practice options upon graduation.
Annually we accept four PGY-1 obstetrics and gynecology residents and
one reproductive endocrinology fellow. We offer high quality
postgraduate resident training in general obstetrics and gynecology,
reproductive endocrinology, maternal-fetal medicine, diagnostic
ultrasound, gynecologic
oncology and urogynecology.
Residents also receive training in surgical pathology, genetics and
genetic counseling, diagnostic ultrasonography and pediatric gynecology. Successful completion of the program leads to eligibility for
certification by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
We prepare our graduates for clinical practice in the private and
academic sectors, with 25 percent of our residents pursuing fellowships
and 75 percent choosing private practice options upon graduation. Each
resident experiences training in high-risk obstetrics, reproductive
endocrinology, urogynecology, gynecological oncology, surgical
pathology, genetics and genetic counseling, diagnostic ultrasonography,
and pediatric gynecology.
With the assistance of faculty consultants, residents provide primary
care in a variety of clinics, including the teen obstetrics clinic. All
aspects of family planning, sexuality counseling, sexual assault and
abuse, and obstetric critical care are integrated into the program.
An important component of our residency that has a strong academic focus
is our conferences, seminars, lectures, and workshops, which are offered
during regular protected educational time. Guest speakers and faculty
provide weekly grand rounds, a didactic forum, fetal monitoring rounds, high-risk conferences, reproductive and infertility journal
club, pathology conferences, hands-on ultrasound conferences, pre-operative conferences, and monthly
journal club, which relate theory and practice.
 We are proud of our program; we welcome your interest and look forward
to hearing from you.
