Residency Program
Our residency program in the
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Arkansas for
Medical Sciences is a four-year accredited graduate
program designed to provide residents with broad knowledge and clinical skills
in all aspects of obstetrics and gynecology and women's health.
Our faculty includes full-time academic physicians and
scientists along with a dedicated staff of other health care providers. Our
commitment to graduate medical education encourages residents to fully
participate as members of the health care team. Clinical training occurs
through services provided to a large, diverse patient base while other training
occurs through weekly conferences including department
grand rounds and case presentation conferences, along with a monthly journal
club, designed to enhance the critical evaluation of the literature and
reinforce evidence-based medicine.
The overall goal of our program
is to create an environment where residents can acquire a comprehensive
knowledge of obstetrics and gynecology to prepare for general practice,
subspecialty practice, or a career in academic medicine.
Our attitudes toward teamwork,
cooperation, and mutual respect are vital elements to our successful educational
experience.
Each 4th year resident
must design and carry out a research project with the assistance of a faculty
mentor. The purpose of this project is to provide an opportunity to formulate a
hypothesis, put forth an appropriate study design with power analysis (if
necessary), execute the study and analyze the data. This project serves as the
required thesis and in most cases, results in peer reviewed publication.
