University at Buffalo (Sisters of Charity) Program

The Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program at Sisters of Charity Hospital in Buffalo, New York is a four-year program sponsored by the University at Buffalo's Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Established in 1947 and accredited by the ACGME, the program offers comprehensive training in obstetrics and gynecology.

The residents at Sisters Hospital actively participate in the care of obstetric and gynecological patients. The program emphasizes osteopathic education and practice, and is pursuing osteopathic recognition with the ACGME. Residents receive well-rounded training, including high-risk obstetrics, hands-on ultrasound training, laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery, infertility practice, gynecologic malignancies, primary care, and ambulatory gynecology at the Sisters Ob/Gyn Center.

Residents work alongside healthcare professionals from various specialties, medical schools, and colleges, gaining exposure to diverse patient populations. The program focuses on imparting medical knowledge, technical skills, communication acumen, and professional responsibility to mold confident and competent Obstetrician-Gynecologists. Graduates are prepared to practice as generalists or pursue fellowships.

The curriculum is divided into four years of progressive learning, including rotations in high-risk obstetrics, maternal-fetal medicine, gynecologic surgery, oncology, and reproductive endocrinology. Residents engage in research projects, educational activities, simulation training, and participate in quality and patient safety initiatives.

Teaching sites for the program include Sisters of Charity Hospital, Mercy Hospital of Buffalo, and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. Residents benefit from established learning environments, including the Special Birth Place at Sisters Hospital and advanced surgical experiences with robotic systems.
