Obstetrics & Gynecology Residency Program

Ochsner's fully-accredited, 4-year program offers residents a dynamic mix of private- and public-sector patient-centered training. Training is weighed equally between obstetrics and gynecology, and each house officer has the opportunity to learn this specialty under the supervision of experienced staff physicians.

We are committed to maintaining an environment in which residents and faculty can improve their knowledge and skills and learn from each other. Ob-Gyn Residents will be incorporated into the department’s clinical, teaching, and research activities in a supportive and collegial fashion.

It is our intention that each resident assume graded and increasing responsibility. Sensitivity and responsiveness to our residents’ needs are central to the success of the educational mission. To this end, help will be offered for physical, emotional and didactic special needs. Our resident program accepts six categorical residents per year. Our graduates have entered diverse positions including fellowships, academic medicine and private practice.
