- Complicated Obstetrics (Maternal-Fetal
Medicine)
- General Gynecology
- Reproductive Endocrinology
- Gynecologic Oncology
- Benign Gynecologic Surgery

Educational Programs
There are numerous ACOOG videotapes on ultrasound, gynecologic surgery, and obstetrical topics which are maintained in the resident call room. There is a sign-out sheet that should be used to track the location of the tapes.
Departmental Education Committee
The Departmental Education Committee is comprised of the Departmental Chair, Residency Director and Associate Residency Directors. This group will meet on a quarterly basis to review the program and provide recommendations to the Director.
Departmental members from each affiliated hospital will submit resident evaluations quarterly, which will then be collated and reviewed by the Director. A composite evaluation will be prepared, discussed with the resident, and placed in the permanent files.
