• The Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program at NYU Grossman School of Medicine is one of the leading residency programs in women’s health and reproductive medicine in the United States. The program is designed to train compassionate, highly skilled, and academically accomplished obstetrician-gynecologists through comprehensive clinical education, surgical training, research opportunities, and multidisciplinary collaboration.
• Residents train across several major institutions including NYU Langone’s Tisch Hospital, NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue, and NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn. These hospitals provide exposure to diverse patient populations, high-volume obstetric services, complex gynecologic surgery, emergency care, and advanced reproductive healthcare.
• The curriculum is structured to provide progressive responsibility throughout all four years of residency. Residents gain experience in labor and delivery, maternal-fetal medicine, gynecologic oncology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, family planning, urogynecology, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, and ambulatory women’s healthcare. Early subspecialty exposure is integrated throughout training.
• Simulation-based education is a major component of the program. Residents participate in obstetric emergency drills, surgical simulation sessions, fetal monitoring education, procedural workshops, and interdisciplinary team training designed to enhance patient safety and clinical competency.
• The department maintains a strong commitment to academic medicine and scholarly development. Residents actively participate in clinical research, quality improvement projects, journal clubs, grand rounds, tumor boards, and research presentations. Dedicated faculty mentorship supports publication and national conference participation.
• Global health opportunities are also available through NYU Langone’s international partnerships, including structured elective experiences in Ghana. These experiences allow residents to gain broader exposure to global women’s health challenges and healthcare delivery systems.
• The residency emphasizes patient-centered care, professionalism, leadership development, wellness, and diversity. Graduates consistently pursue competitive fellowships in maternal-fetal medicine, gynecologic oncology, reproductive endocrinology, urogynecology, complex family planning, and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, while others enter successful academic and private practice careers
