Obstetrics & Gynecology Residency Program

Thank you for your interest in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program. I am excited to introduce you to our program and provide you with as much information as you need to pique your interest in joining our residency family. We strive to be among the best of the OB/GYN residency programs in the country and are constantly working to improve the curriculum to meet the needs of our residents. 

 Our patient population is very diverse, including many underserved women and high-risk pregnancies, which allows our residents invaluable opportunities to learn. From day one in the OSU OB/GYN residency program, our residents participate in complex patient cases that help them learn and solidify their knowledge and skills in the field. They receive a well-rounded training and are fully ready to enter independent practice when they graduate.

One of the most notable things that you will experience when visiting our program is the camaraderie of our department.  The residents are a built-in support system for each other and we consider each other to be family. Resident wellness is a top priority, and you will see this displayed in both on-campus activities, as well as the times we gather together for social events off-campus where all family members are invited, even our dogs!  

If you are interested in doing an audition rotation with us, please reach out. As you explore the information here, I hope you will contact us with any questions you may have.

OB/GYN Department Chair and Program Director

Since it began in 1982, the ACGME accredited Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program at Oklahoma State University, in conjunction with the Osteopathic Medical Education Consortium of Oklahoma (OMECO), has trained more than 100 physicians who are now successfully practicing medicine nation-wide. Highly competitive, the Osteopathically recognized program trains five to six residents in each post graduate year in rotations across the state, in both rural and metropolitan areas. Working the Labor and Delivery units at two of the main hospitals in Tulsa, Saint Francis Hospital and OSU Medical Center, our residents rotate through five additional hospitals for Benign Gynecology, as well as the sub-specialties of Gynecological Oncology, Urogynecology, Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, and Maternal and Fetal Medicine.

Our first year residents rotate through the Emergency Medicine Department, Internal Medicine/Intensive Care Unit, and the Saint Francis Hospital Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, which allows them to gain additional exposure and creates a well-rounded physician. All of our residents are certified in the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) by the end of their second year of residency. They also have an opportunity to obtain DaVinci Robot certification upon graduation. With the opportunity for each PGY-4 resident to be Chief, our program offers leadership mentoring, with the guidance of a strong faculty. While there is a strong emphasis on Research and Quality Improvement projects, a wide variety of topics are covered in our didactics program, which follows the latest CREOG Educational Objectives two-year curriculum, yet also provides exposure in M&M conferences, Wellness, Community Programs, Coding, and Physician Business sense.
