Celebrating trainees on Thank A Resident Day 2026

The last Friday of every February is Thank a Resident Day, a day led by the Gold Humanism Honor Society to show gratitude for the integral role physician trainees have in our health care team.

Training residents and fellows is one of the most important functions as a clinical department in the UW School of Medicine and Public Health. We are so grateful to have each of the 29 incredible ob-gyn residents and 11 fantastic subspecialty fellows in the UW Department of Ob-Gyn. Every trainee is an integral part of the department's mission of improving reproductive health in Wisconsin!

Every day, residents and fellows provide high-quality, evidence-based clinical care across our community. Their curiosity and drive for discovery keep our department moving forward as we strive to understand today’s most pressing reproductive health issues. They are patient and skilled teachers, helping learners at all levels (including our own faculty!) stay on top of the latest developments in ob-gyn. 

It is a privilege to support residents and fellows through this phase of their career. Thank you, UW Department of Ob-Gyn residents and fellows, for everything you do!
