Richmond University Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

Richmond University Medical Center's OB/GYN residency is a community-based, high-volume program built around RUMC's designation as Staten Island's Regional Perinatal Center, generating roughly 3000 deliveries and 1700 operative cases annually with a heavy caseload of high-risk obstetric and complex gynecologic pathology. The program emphasizes hands-on autonomy and longitudinal continuity (a resident-run "private practice" clinic with 120+ sessions across primary care, high-risk prenatal, oncology, urogynecology and REI clinics), supplemented by structured subspecialty exposure through external rotations at Memorial Sloan-Kettering (gyn onc) and a local REI practice. It trains generalist obstetrician-gynecologists prepared for ABOG certification and community or private practice, while offering enough subspecialty and research infrastructure (a dedicated Director of Resident Research, clinical trial opportunities) for residents pursuing fellowship. The program markets itself around lifestyle balance (golden weekends, no night float) alongside case volume and describes itself as a tight-knit, family-style culture within a mid-sized, non-university-affiliated teaching hospital.
