University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is an academic, university-based Ob-Gyn program at a nationally-ranked tertiary/quaternary center that emphasizes high clinical and surgical volume well beyond ACGME minimums alongside a structured, mentored resident research curriculum culminating in a manuscript and Resident Scholars Day presentation. Its most distinctive feature is a dedicated Rural Residency Track (a separate Match) with recurring three-week rotations at partner rural Wisconsin hospitals, reflecting a deliberate mission to address rural women's health workforce shortages, complemented by a Global Health Track and institutional research infrastructure (Collaborative for Reproductive Equity, Health Disparities Research Scholars Program) focused on reproductive equity and health disparities. The program maintains a strong subspecialty fellowship placement record while structuring scholarly work to also support residents pursuing academic or research-focused careers. It values residents who engage meaningfully with community and systems-level issues, from rural access to reproductive equity, and who can commit fully to either a broad academic track or the distinct rural-focused pathway.
