The Faxton - St. Luke's Hospital Program in Utica, NY, recently launched a new Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) Residency Program approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). This four-year program has received initial accreditation for a total of 16 residents, allowing for four per year. The first batch of four residents is set to commence on July 1, 2023.
The program aims to enhance healthcare in the Mohawk Valley region by focusing on women's health issues such as high-risk pregnancies, infertility, women's cancers, and urogynecology. This addition of a specialized OB/GYN residency program complements the array of existing residencies at MVHS, including psychiatry, general surgery, podiatry, and a transitional year program.
The growth in the number of physicians attending to women's health is notable, with the current eight expected to double within four years. This expansion promises to offer greater accessibility to healthcare services for women and their families in the area, eliminating the necessity to travel long distances for essential care.
