University of Virginia Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

UVA's Ob/Gyn residency is a university-based, tertiary/quaternary academic program anchored at a Level I trauma center with the region's most advanced Level IV NICU, giving residents exposure to both routine and highly complex obstetric and gynecologic disease across a high-volume caseload (2,415 deliveries, 7,059 gynecologic procedures annually). The four-year curriculum spans all major subspecialties and is reinforced by in-house Gynecologic Oncology and Maternal-Fetal Medicine fellowships, a Ryan Residency Training Program for family planning, and close teaching integration with UVA medical students. Graduate outcomes show a genuinely mixed trajectory—roughly even split among subspecialty fellowship, academic faculty appointments, and private practice—indicating the program builds broad clinical competency rather than funneling residents toward a single pathway. The program values evidence-based clinical judgment, surgical proficiency across acuity levels, and professional versatility suited to varied post-residency career paths.
