Eastern Virginia Medical School Program

The Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program at Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) offers a comprehensive training experience that stands out due to its affiliation with Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, a Level I trauma center and burn trauma unit, and the only facility where residents take in-house night calls for obstetrics and gynecology services. Residents also train at the Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters and the Jones Institute, which focuses on assisted reproductive technology.

Application to the EVMS OB/GYN Residency Program requires a passing score on USMLE Step exams, a minimum of three recommendation letters, a dean's letter, and proficiency in English.

The residency program administration selects candidates for interviews based on their applications. Invited applicants attend interviews in Norfolk from November to January.

Residents benefit from a competitive stipend, health and life insurance, disability coverage, retirement options, and additional benefits specific to OB/GYN residents, including funding for educational resources, memberships, and research opportunities. The curriculum spans four years and includes rotations in diverse clinical settings, ensuring a well-rounded training experience.
