Welcome to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology web site. I
hope you find the information provided here helpful in deciding
the best residency training site for you. We, in the Department
of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Kansas University Medical Center,
are committed to providing excellent training to our residents
so that they may have a fulfilling career. Being a university-based
program it allows our residents to care for a diverse patient
population from the Kansas City Metropolitan area as well as
rural area of Kansas. Our university setting offers each
resident the opportunity to make independent decisions regarding
patient care issues, interact with other residents and renowned
faculty in their field, and participate in the education of medical
students. We make every effort to plan a curriculum that
will allow our resident to meet their educational goal through
teaching, research and patient care.
To be trained in a University Medical Center is only one aspect
of the training received here. Our program offers a diverse
curriculum that exemplifies the mission of our specialty. Each
resident rotates through other community hospitals and clinical
settings in order to provide health care to the rural, under
served and urban populations.
The obstetric and gynecology program provides residents with
the opportunity to tailor their residency to their individual
interests and future practice needs. We have sub-specialists
from maternal/fetal medicine, reproductive endocrinology and
infertility, gyn oncology and general obstetricians and gynecologists
who cover the breadth and depth of our field. With the
scope of obstetrics, clinical gynecology and surgery, it allows
the resident to learn the skills that will make them the physician
they want to be.
The Kansas University Medical Center is also a Regional Center
for research in reproduction techniques and perinatal medicine. Within
our department alone, we have three research labs and five PhD’s
committed to research. If your interest lies in the area
of research, then our department is the place you need to be. We
have many investigative studies being conducted by our staff
physicians and PhD’s. This allows our residents to
participate in the cutting edge innovation in our profession.
Our residents have a 100% passing rate in their Board Examination. They
are very well trained clinically and surgically in order to provide
high quality care to their patients as well as serving as a consultant
to their colleagues in their respective community.
We, at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, are extremely
proud of our graduates and welcome your interest in our program,
your application and extend to you an invitation to visit our
program and learn first-hand about the opportunities which exist
for you here in obstetrics and gynecology. The house staff
in this department as well as this institution is characterized
not only by their high academic achievement, but by their enthusiasm,
maturity and mutual support of our program. If interested
