Ob/Gyn Residency: Where You Design the Program

Thank you for your interest in Cleveland Clinic's Obstetrics & Gynecology Residency Program. Unlike other residency training programs in the nation, Cleveland Clinic’s Ob/Gyn residency training program allows you flexibility to design your own program. During this four-year, ACGME-accredited program, you determine which track to take, and we tailor the curriculum to meet your needs.

Program Mission: To develop competent, compassionate OB/GYN physicians with an advanced skill set, through an innovative, individualized, flexible “tracking” program, who provide culturally sensitive care for patients across their lives utilizing evidenced-based medicine.

Program Aim:

  • Provide a framework where trainees progress through milestones, explore special interests and develop specialized skills through innovative and individualized “tracking” blocks.
  • To recognize the needs of diverse patient groups and the importance of providing culturally sensitive care for all people.
  • Establish mentorship and coaching relationships to foster trainee-centered development and patient centered care with a focus on clinical excellence, research, teaching and quality.

Diversity and Inclusion: Cleveland Clinic values a culture where caregivers integrate diversity and inclusion throughout the enterprise as well as in our training programs. We respect and appreciate our similarities and differences; they enable us to better serve our patients, one another, and our global communities.

With the availability of exceptional educational and clinical resources and renowned faculty, our residents train while caring for an incredibly complex patient population. With the flexibility of a tailored curriculum, you are able to train with a focus in the subspecialty of your choice. In this exceptional environment, we train experts in the field who become leaders in research, academics, and private practice.

Every residency program must offer core training in the fundamentals of obstetrics and gynecology to prepare you for passing your boards. In addition to this core training, you will have the opportunity to gain significant experience and a deeper understanding of gynecologic surgical training as well as issues in women’s health that physicians deal with daily.

We encourage you to review the information on our program to compare various tracks, including Family Planning, Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, General Ob/Gyn, Global Health, Gynecologic Oncology, Maternal Fetal Medicine and Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility.
