Residency - Resident Research Program

​The resident research program at the UW Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is an important part of the academic training. We prepare residents for life in today’s ever-changing medical field and to ensure that they are equipped with skills to understand current and emerging scientific evidence in medical literature.

Since its inception, the residency program has worked to empower the trainees to properly interpret published research and use such researched evidence for the betterment of their patients. 

Completion of a scholarly research project is expected by graduation and we provide complete support and structure to accomplish this goal. We have a roadmap that lays out specific time points throughout all 4 years of residency. We have two faculty Resident Research Advisors and an administrative staff member, in addition to your research mentor, to keep you on target each step of the way. All projects available to you have been reviewed by the Department's Research Advisory Committee to ensure your success. You will begin hearing about the project options as early as PGY1 orientation.
