Clinical Curriculum
Our team emphasizes teaching, mentorship, graduated levels of patient-care responsibility, and collaborative care. Our residency program curriculum provides training that will allow graduates to pursue a full-scope generalist practice with substantial exposure to all the Ob/Gyn subspecialties should they choose to pursue further training in a subspecialty. As a resident here, you will work shoulder to shoulder with your faculty physicians and midwives, and with our Gyn Onc fellows during your Gyn Onc rotation. You will also work in multidisciplinary teams, regularly collaborating with nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certified nurse midwives.

Research
Over the course of training, residents will be expected to take part in a quality improvement project and an original research project. These projects will be presented at the departmental conference at the end of the academic year as well as the AdventHealth Orlando GME Resident Research Day.
The purpose of a quality improvement project is to engage in the department’s efforts to improve patient care and identify systems issues that may contribute to patient outcomes. In addition, this project should foster interprofessional collaboration with other healthcare team members.
The original research project should be completed by the end of the 3rd year. This project will teach the basic principles of research including how research is conducted, evaluated and applied to patient care. The goal is for the research project to be submitted to a clinical meeting and/or a peer-reviewed journal.
