Program Identity & Fit

This is a newly launched (inaugural class July 2026), HCA Healthcare-affiliated, community-based OB/GYN residency at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, a high-volume delivery center (over 5,000 deliveries annually) serving the medically underserved of South Texas through its ties to Methodist Healthcare Ministries. The four-year, 16-resident curriculum provides broad subspecialty exposure across MFM, REI, gynecologic oncology, urogynecology/FPMRS, complex family planning, and minimally invasive/robotic gynecologic surgery, indicating a comprehensive generalist training model rather than a narrow academic-research pipeline. Scholarly activity is institutionally supported through HCA's national research infrastructure (Scholarly Commons, dedicated research coordinators, access to large multi-site patient data) but is framed as encouraged and resourced rather than central to program identity. As a first-class program under a large corporate GME system, it appears to value adaptability, high clinical volume tolerance, and comfort helping build program culture from the ground up.

Who it fits

An applicant drawn to high-volume, hands-on community-based obstetric and gynecologic surgical training in an underserved South Texas population, who wants broad subspecialty exposure without committing to an academic-research-heavy track, and who is comfortable joining a brand-new program's inaugural class.

Research intensity

Moderate - research and scholarly activity are institutionally resourced and encouraged (via HCA's national research support and Scholarly Commons) but not positioned as a defining or required pillar of training.
