The Residency Program in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital is a fully accredited, four-year program that enrolls six new residents each year. Located in the heart of New York City, St. Luke's-Roosevelt is an academic affiliate of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Residents are trained in all aspects of obstetrics and gynecology, with an appropriate emphasis on being primary care providers for women.
The curriculum is based on a model using recommendations from such sources as the Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics Gynecology (CREOG) and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG). We believe we have created an excellent balance of clinical rotations, continuity and specialty clinics, research and didactic lectures.
We take pride in the fact that we are constantly evaluating our training program in order to stay abreast of changes in our specialty and offer a state-of-the-art curriculum. To achieve this, we have yearly
education retreats and bimonthly meetings attended by both faculty and resident representatives. The goal of our program is to produce future obstetrician/gynecologists that will have a strong knowledge base and excellent clinical skills. It is expected that, upon completion of the four years of residency, the residents will either pursue an academic medicine career with a fellowship in a subspecialty, or enter clinical practice.
