Residency Program

The Residency Program in Obstetrics and Gynaecology provides an excellent environment to train highly skilled obstetricians and gynaecologists while fostering residents who have interest in subspecialty training. The program's faculty and residents are committed to a resident-focused environment with strong, supportive teaching and learning opportunities. The level of obstetrics training each resident receives is unique to the program, with excellent laparoscopic training and diversity of patients/cases. The program also has a tremendous amount of support for resident research, including a dedicated research advisory group.

Research

Resident involvement in research is a mandatory requirement of the program. Each resident must complete a research project in manuscript form by the end of residency and present their project twice, with at least one of those presentations at the Annual Departmental Academic Day. Residents receive training in research design and are encouraged to present their projects at local, national, and international meetings and conferences. The Department Resident Research Advisory Group provides assistance and mentorship to the residents.
