Boston University Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

Boston University's OBGYN residency at Boston Medical Center is an academic, safety-net program embedded in New England's largest safety-net health system, explicitly organized around reproductive justice and health equity for a high-risk, underserved obstetric and gynecologic population (~3000 deliveries, 7500 triage visits annually). Training emphasizes strong procedural and surgical breadth across generalist and subspecialty divisions (MFM, CFP, Gyn Onc, MIGS, Urogyn, REI), with two dedicated Family Planning rotations covering full-spectrum abortion and early pregnancy loss care, and an external rotation at Lahey Hospital for concentrated MIGS/oncology surgical volume. Research infrastructure is substantial and health-equity focused, anchored by a dedicated Vice Chair of Research, an active perinatal epidemiology lab (STRIDE), and protected scholarly time each year, though the department also runs clinical fellowships (Complex Family Planning, Maternal Health Addiction) signaling subspecialty career pathways. The program values residents committed to reproductive justice, community-engaged advocacy, and comfort with high-acuity, socially complex patient populations.
