MedStar Health Georgetown University-Washington Hospital Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is an independent, community-academic hybrid OB/GYN program that pairs high clinical volume and close attending supervision with the resources of Georgetown University and the MedStar Health Research Institute. Training spans multiple sites (MedStar Washington Hospital Center, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, Virginia Hospital Center, Holy Cross Hospital, Shady Grove Fertility, Children's National), giving exposure to complex gynecologic pathology, high-risk obstetrics, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, urogynecology, gynecologic oncology, and reproductive endocrinology/infertility rotations. Residents structure much of their own didactic and clinical experience, and a completed research project is a graduation requirement, with dedicated research blocks in PGY-2 and PGY-3, signaling genuine (if not singularly research-focused) scholarly expectations. The program explicitly frames itself as combining "intimate community training" with major academic teaching center resources, valuing academic accomplishment, commitment to women's health, and interest in both clinical research and medical education.
