Educational Objectives
An Overview
Our attempt over the years has been to develop a program in Obstetrics and Gynecology that has the essentials that reflect the growth and development of the specialty itself. Therefore, within the program, we have developed the traditional sub-specialty areas of Maternal-Fetal 
Medicine, Gynecology Oncology and Reproductive Endocrinology. In addition, the program carries with it an outpatient surgery unit, and active gynecologic urology unit, general Ob/Gyn care and an Ob/Gyn diagnostic center that includes ultrasonography, genetic counseling and electronic fetal surveillance. The overall objective of the program is to produce an individual who has had ample clinical experience upon which to base judgment and ample technical experience to allow residents to operate independently for those procedures that would be expected of the practitioner of our specialty. Inpatient teaching has been subdivided into specific rotations that are under the supervision of selected faculty members. These rotations are designed in such a manner that the residents are given graduated levels of experience throughout their training program.
