Program Identity & Fit

Rochester General Hospital's OB/GYN residency is a community-based, high-volume tertiary referral program that serves as the obstetric and gynecologic hub for 14 counties and four referral hospitals, giving residents surgical and obstetric volume that statistically exceeds ACGME minimums (450+ hysterectomies in 2024 alone). The program is subspecialty-rich without fellow competition—residents work directly with gynecologic oncologists, MFM specialists, complex family planning faculty, urogynecologists, and reproductive endocrinologists—while also carrying independent responsibility in a resident-run high-risk OB clinic and a "Baby-Friendly" designated mother-baby unit. Research is a structural expectation rather than an afterthought: every resident completes and presents a scholarly project by year three, with protected research time and a dedicated Research Day. Surgical training is technology-forward (dual da Vinci Xi consoles, dedicated GYN training console, simulation and animal labs) and the program signals openness to varied post-residency paths through a flexible fourth-year elective that can be used for mission work, fellowship exploration, or private-practice shadowing.

Who it fits

A surgically-driven applicant who wants heavy generalist operative volume and unsupervised subspecialty exposure (oncology, MFM, urogyn, complex family planning) within a community/tertiary hybrid, and who has already demonstrated a completed or in-progress scholarly project consistent with the program's required research capstone.

Research intensity

Moderate - a scholarly project is required and supported with protected time and a dedicated research day, but research is not positioned as central to the program's identity or output.
