Learning objectives are clearly stated for each rotation and formal teaching sessions will be organized to meet the General and Special Requirements for Ob-Gyn residency programs. These can and should be previewed in the Goals and Objectives prior to the start of each rotation. Measurement of the successful attainment of learning objectives occurs through a defined process of resident evaluation, including a 360° evaluation by peers, co-workers and patients, the CREOG in-training examination, and twice yearly progress reviews by the program director.
