Tower Health-Reading Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

Reading Hospital's OB/GYN residency is an independent academic community program built around exceptionally high clinical volume, with over 3,500 deliveries per year and an active MFM service supporting deep exposure to high-risk obstetrics, general and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, oncology, and urogynecology. With only five residents per class, the program emphasizes close faculty-resident teaching relationships, supplemented by a formal simulation curriculum, an onsite cadaver lab, mock oral board exams, and structured research experience. The program explicitly frames itself as "academically focused yet clinically based," balancing scholarly output with procedural training across a four-year curriculum designed to prepare residents broadly rather than push a single career track. It draws rotating students from Drexel and PCOM, signaling openness to both allopathic and osteopathic trainees within a teaching-hospital, non-tertiary-university structure.
