Riverside Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency

Getting to know us

Riverside's OB/GYN residency program is a four-year, ACGME-accredited program, which accepts four new residents annually. St. Ann's Hospital in nearby Westerville has been an affiliate institution for over two decades, and the combined program offers the residents the most comprehensive Obstetrics and Gynecology training in Central Ohio.

Why OB/GYN at Riverside?

*We are focused on providing intensive clinical training to ensure that our graduating residents will be able to use their clinical skills to become highly competent OB/GYN practitioners or to pursue fellowship training.
*The strength of our program is the balanced exposure to both a very busy general OB/GYN service and each of the subspecialties
o Perinatal Medicine
o Reproductive Medicine
o Gynecologic Oncology
o Urogynecology
* This program has the fortunate ability to provide exceptional volumes of clinical experience while also organizing didactic and academic conferences to ensure a balanced education. Obtaining exposure to all the subspecialties at one institution is also a major benefit to the residents.

In the words of our graduating residents, our program's strengths are
o "Surgical experience"
o "Teaching attendings"
o "Excellent teaching and support"
o "Exposure to complex patients, attention to academics"
