Curriculum & Didactics

Ascension St. Vincent OBGYN Residency Curriculum
Sample OBGYN Clinical Rotation

DIDACTICS

Typical Months include daily formal board changeover with various teaching faculty, Wednesday Didactics from 7 a.m.-8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. as well as monthly OB M&M, GYN M&M, Grand Rounds with visiting speakers, enrichment sessions including simulation sessions (at our Ascension St. Vincent William K. Nasser Simulation Center: a 45,000 square foot state of the art facility built for Education), pathology conferences as well as joint OB & Neonatal conference.

Sim Center

Residents participate in various cadaver labs at the SIM center as well.

Call Schedules:

Because we have a night float rotation, residents no longer take call during the week (those hours are covered by the two residents on the night float rotation). Per ACGME duty hours requirements, all residents take 24-hour calls in an effort to maintain continuity of patient care.

On average, residents take 1-2 weekend call shifts per month.
