Nassau University Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

NUMC's OB/GYN residency is an independent, four-year categorical program based at a public safety-net, Level 1 trauma hospital in Nassau County, offering broad exposure across all major subspecialties (MFM, GYN Oncology, REI, Urogynecology, MIGS) through both employed generalist faculty and voluntary staff. The curriculum builds graduated responsibility across sites, supplementing home-institution training with rotations at South Nassau Communities Hospital, a one-month GYN Oncology rotation at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, and exposure at Huntington Hospital, giving residents both community and tertiary oncologic experience. Structured conferences (Grand Rounds, Tumor Board, M&M, Journal Club, interdisciplinary "Team Stepps" L&D morning report) indicate an emphasis on multidisciplinary case-based learning rather than a heavily funded research infrastructure, with a dedicated PGY3 Prenatal Diagnostic Unit/Research block rather than a formal research track. The program's identity centers on training generalist obstetrician-gynecologists comfortable managing a high-acuity, underserved public-hospital population with hands-on clinical responsibility.
