Case Western Reserve University-University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a university-affiliated, academically-oriented four-year OB/GYN residency housed at MacDonald Women's Hospital, one of the few freestanding women's hospitals in the country, functioning as a tertiary referral center on the Case Western Reserve University campus. The program houses all four ACGME OB/GYN fellowships on-site (FPMRS, Gynecologic Oncology, MFM, REI), giving residents built-in subspecialty exposure and mentorship pathways for those considering fellowship training while equally preparing generalists for private practice. Distinctive features include early gynecologic subspecialty exposure, a large midwifery collaboration for low-risk obstetric care, a Global Health Scholars track, Ryan Residency Program participation for complex family planning training, an international WONDOOR resident exchange with Guyana, and dedicated elective time expanding across PGY2-4 for research or clinical exploration. The program values residents committed to both high-acuity clinical excellence and community/global health advocacy, reflected in its explicit "To Heal, To Teach, To Discover, To Serve, To Lead" framework.
