Want more OB experience? Or a bit less…? We offer the option to tailor your OB volume beginning your PGY-2 year.
To cover our busy OB service, we staff four OB residents every block. The high/low option allows a PGY-3 to swap an elective for an extra four-week block of intensive inpatient OB while a corresponding PGY-2 swaps an OB block for an elective tailored to their future practice plans.
Normal and high track residents routinely obtain the numbers below. Higher numbers, as well as C-section competence, are available depending on resident initiative. The number of C-sections performed during residency has ranged recently from 60 to 170 sections. Many of our graduates practice full-spectrum obstetrics, including surgical obstetrics.
