Marshall University School of Medicine Program

Program Identity & Fit

Marshall's OB/GYN residency is a university-affiliated, community-anchored program in Huntington, West Virginia, training at Cabell Huntington Hospital, the region's largest obstetrical and gynecologic referral center, drawing patients who travel hours for care and reflecting the region's burden of maternal addiction, hypertensive disease, and gestational diabetes. With 17 full-time faculty spanning MFM, Gyn Onc, Urogynecology, REI, and the state's only pediatric/adolescent gynecologist, the program offers broad subspecialty exposure alongside a structured robotic surgery curriculum, positioning residents for either fellowship or generalist practice in an underserved Appalachian catchment. The program is actively expanding its complement from 12 to 16 residents by 2028, signaling institutional investment in growth rather than a legacy research-heavy identity, and its emphasis on specialized centers (prenatal diagnosis, addiction/recovery, gender-affirming pediatrics) suggests it values residents comfortable managing complex, medically and socially high-acuity patients. Career outcomes are not detailed, but the breadth of subspecialty faculty and surgical training implies openness to residents pursuing fellowship as well as those entering community generalist practice in the region.
