University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Medicine Program

Program Identity & Fit

UNMC's OB-GYN residency is a university-affiliated academic program that recently expanded to five residents per year, combining tertiary academic training at UNMC with substantial private-practice exposure through 12 months of rotations at Methodist Hospital and Methodist Women's Hospital, plus a dedicated reproductive medicine rotation at Heartland Center for Reproductive Medicine. Faculty span generalists, maternal-fetal medicine, gynecologic oncology, midwifery, breast care, gender care, and pediatric/adolescent gynecology, giving residents exposure to subspecialty-level pathology alongside bread-and-butter obstetrics and gynecologic care at the ambulatory Olson Center for Women's Health. Institutional GME infrastructure (education research collaborative, QI/patient safety support, a dedicated research journal, and an annual research symposium) signals that scholarly output is supported and expected rather than incidental, though the program's core identity centers on producing well-rounded clinicians competent for independent practice, with escalating responsibility built into a four-year, progressively autonomous curriculum. The blended academic/private-practice structure and named subspecialty clinics suggest the program values residents who can move fluidly between complex referral-based care and high-volume general OB-GYN practice.
