The University of Kansas Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology will not contact applicants after their residency interview.
Applicants are welcome and encouraged to ask our faculty and residents any questions they have about our program after their interview, but we do not recommend any other post interview communication, including thank you notes, and such communications are never included in ranking considerations. Communication from candidates about rank order or preference are highly discouraged and may be considered match violations.

*Denotes items that must be received before an application will be reviewed
Applicants are reviewed based on academic record, professional background, personal qualities, recommendations and interviews. The rank order list is developed through a collaborative review process involving faculty and current residents prior to its submission to the NRMP.
Interview invitations are extended through ResidencyCAS. Applicants selected for interviews will have the opportunity to meet virtually with both faculty and residents on their interview day. Consistent with current CREOG recommendations, all interviews for the 2027 recruitment season will be conducted virtually.
If you have additional questions, or need assistance, please contact Nyeisha Finch, Residency Program Coordinator at nfinch2@kumc.edu.
"I chose KU for residency not just because of the great experiences the residents get in both obstetrics and gynecology, but for the sense of family the program has. I could tell from just one day of interacting with the residents and faculty that everybody really cared about each other and I wanted to be a part of that family."- Emily Brekke, KU Residency Class of 2024
