Wright State University Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a unique military-civilian integrated OB/GYN residency based at Miami Valley Hospital (a Level 1 trauma center and the region's only tertiary maternity/neonatal facility) with mandatory rotations through Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Medical Center, filling half its annual six positions with military residents selected via the Joint Service GME Board. The clinical environment provides high procedural volume from broad community and referral populations (approximately 100 cesarean sections in year one alone) with progressive autonomy culminating in a chief-resident year covering complex oncologic, urogynecologic, and minimally invasive/robotic surgery. Research is a structured graduation requirement (proposal by end of R1, presentation at Resident Research Day in R3, manuscript work in R4), with a notable recurring institutional focus on health equity, racial disparities in obstetric outcomes, and community-based quality improvement projects. The program values applicants comfortable in a hybrid military/civilian training culture, non-pyramidal team structure, and demonstrated interest in underserved/health-equity-oriented clinical questions.
