Education and Research

In 2022 our residency program achieved Ryan Residency Program designation. The Ryan Residency Training Program is a national initiative to integrate and enhance family planning training into Ob/Gyn residency programs. We joined approximately 100 other residency programs that also have achieved Ryan Program designation.

There is full-time staff participation in the subspecialty conferences, Quality Assurance Conference, Grand Rounds, Resident Lecture Series and Journal Conferences. These conferences emphasize literature review and current research in the clinical areas under discussion.

Formal didactics consist of both a variety of morning conferences (listed below) and a bi-weekly four-hour Friday lecture series. These Friday lecture series are organized by the Program Directors and given by faculty Attendings and Fellows to cover a variety of general and subspecialty topics.

Research Opportunities

Myriad dynamic clinical and basic research is ongoing at both the NewYork Presbyterian - Weill Cornell Center and at the New York Hospital-Queens, and Residents are encouraged to pursue research throughout the course of their training under the mentorship of a diverse and successful academic faculty. Many of our Residents in the past have published in peer-reviewed journals, and presented oral and poster presentations at national conferences, including the Society for Gynecologic Oncology (SGO), The Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine (SMFM), The American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG).

Chiefs' Day

During their training, each Resident must complete an original research project under the direction of a faculty sponsor. At the end of the Chief's year, these projects are presented to the department at The Robert Sassoon Chief Residents and Fellows Research Symposium and evaluated by a Visiting Professor.
