Our Ob/gyn residents are involved in decision-making regarding their residency education at every level.
Empowered residents with a voice
Residents help design the two-year rotating didactic schedule, plan the educational activities of morning report and lead problem-based learning sessions. Monthly resident business meetings are an opportunity for residents to suggest changes in the residency and identify problems.
Each year, residents spend a half day with faculty doing a deep dive into the residency experience and providing input for larger residency projects and changes. Residents write both the call schedule and assign the operating room schedule each week.
Residents sit on numerous hospital committees in quality improvement, ethics and graduate medical education, as well as local, state and national medical committees. We support our residents' participation in these activities, as it establishes a pattern of engagement we hope will continue throughout their careers.
