Residency Training Program Rotations

Rotations

The training program in Obstetrics and Gynecology is a four-year program that affords the residents increasing responsibility with each successive year. There are currently twenty-seven residents in our program: seven residents each in PGY1, PGY2 and PGY3 and six PGY4 residents.

Both the Obstetric and Gynecologic Services at the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center have a Day Team and a Night Team. The night float team is scheduled Sunday to Friday AM.

The majority of rotations (80%) occur at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and 20% occur at The New York Hospital - Queens.

We are in compliance with the New York State regulations regarding residents' work hours. Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certification and continuing education in accordance with requirements of The New York Heart Association, Inc. is required. Residents must complete these certification courses before starting residency. Courses are available at Cornell free of charge, and can be arranged through our Residency Coordinator.

Our interns and residents fine-tune their surgical skills in our SAIL (Skills Acquisition & Innovation Laboratory) facility, a state-of-the-art simulation center that houses simulations stations for surgical skills including hysteroscopic, laparoscopic and robotic modules. These sessions are level specific and administered by faculty from all specialties throughout the four years.
