New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital Program

The Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital provides a comprehensive training curriculum with a focus on patient care, ambulatory medicine, and subspecialty training. The program emphasizes continuity of care and offers a balanced approach to residency education. The residents gain experience in a wide range of obstetric and gynecologic services with a special emphasis on primary care.

The program is described as a Priority Designated Program in Primary Care by the New York State Council on Graduate Medical Education. The residency is known for its dedicated faculty, including fellowship-trained sub-specialists, who guide residents through a program of progressive clinical responsibility and a comprehensive didactic curriculum.

Applicants must apply through ERAS and the program is a participant in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). International Medical Graduates are accepted, and visas consistent with the institution's are considered. There is no minimum time requirement between graduation from medical school and application for residency. The program receives over 700 applications each year for five positions and does not discriminate based on various factors.

Visiting faculty, educational programs, and a supportive learning environment are highlighted as key components of the residency experience. Residents are encouraged to engage in research and scholarly activities, and there are opportunities for resident presentations at conferences.

The program offers protected time for lectures and conferences, including Grand Rounds, Electronic Fetal Monitoring Tracing Rounds, Morbidity and Mortality Conferences, and Research Seminars. Residents have access to specialized training in areas such as Family Planning, Pediatrics/Obstetrics Perinatal Case Conference, and Gynecologic Oncology Tumor Board.

The residents come from diverse academic backgrounds and are actively involved in patient care, research, and community activities. Each year of the program has specific rotations and requirements tailored to provide a well-rounded training experience. Residents progressively assume more responsibility, gain surgical experience, and have teaching opportunities as they advance through the program.
