SSM Health St Anthony Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

SSM Health St. Anthony Hospital OB/GYN Residency is a community-based, faith-affiliated program in Oklahoma City oriented squarely toward producing confident generalist surgeons ready for independent private practice. The curriculum emphasizes high surgical volume and quarterly simulation days so residents can operate independently immediately after graduation, and extensive exposure to private practice models to ease the transition to attending life. Graduate outcomes overwhelmingly show generalist OB/GYN placement into community and private practice settings across the country (with rare fellowship exceptions such as MFM), reflecting a program built around clinical/surgical competence rather than academic output. The predominantly DO resident composition, osteopathic program origins, and heavy representation from osteopathic medical schools (including several Oklahoma-based COMs) signal a program culturally aligned with osteopathic training pathways and generalist community practice.
