Program Identity & Fit

NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia is a large, academically elite, tertiary/quaternary Ob/Gyn residency built around a nationally prominent faculty (led by Mary D'Alton) with deep subspecialty strength in maternal-fetal medicine, gynecologic oncology, reproductive endocrinology, and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Residents train within a Level III NICU and high-acuity labor and delivery service, care for a mix of publicly and privately insured patients from Washington Heights and around the world, and use a dedicated SIM Center for procedural and simulation-based skills training. Research is structurally embedded into the four-year curriculum, requiring every resident to complete a mentored project from proposal through IRB approval to publication and national presentation, with active departmental programs in outcomes research, health economics, and community-partnered maternal health equity (e.g., NY-CHAMP). The program's identity centers on producing subspecialty-oriented, academically engaged leaders in women's health rather than generalist community practitioners.

Research intensity
