Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

BIDMC's OB/GYN residency is a Harvard-affiliated, tertiary academic program built around a high-volume Labor and Delivery service (~5,300 births/year), a dedicated Gynecologic Oncology division with weekly Tumor Board, an active Center for Maternal-Fetal Medicine/New England Center for Placental Disorders, and a nationally-linked Family Planning division (Kenneth J. Ryan Program). Training emphasizes progressive surgical autonomy culminating in a chief-year Clinic Chief rotation where residents serve as primary surgeon, alongside early and sustained FLS/simulation-based surgical education. The program supports subspecialty career paths explicitly, with in-house fellowships in MFM, Gynecologic Oncology, Urogynecology, REI, and MFM-Genetics, and a funded Global Health Track for residents pursuing international/resource-limited care experience; recent graduates split heavily between subspecialty fellowship and academic/faculty generalist positions within the Harvard-affiliated network. The community-based Cambridge Health Alliance rotation and Mount Auburn Hospital rotation add exposure to generalist and community/MIGS-focused practice within an otherwise tertiary, subspecialty-dense structure.
