Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency

Welcome to Atrium Health Navicent Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program.

We very much appreciate your interest in our residency training program. We are proud to offer our residents comprehensive training in obstetrics and gynecology and all sub-specialties, including Reproductive Endocrinology, Gynecologic Oncology, Maternal-Fetal Medicine, and Urogynecology. Our program offers teaching by full-time academic faculty, as well as a significant experience with private practice clinical faculty giving our residents a “best of both worlds” experience in all aspects of the clinical practice of obstetrics and gynecology. We also offer programs in robotic surgery and the surgical simulation laboratory. Our residents receive a graduated experience over four years with appropriately increasing responsibility leading to outstanding competence in obstetrical and gynecologic practice.

As the primary referral center for Central Georgia, Atrium Health Navicent provides extensive clinical experience to our residents. We serve a diverse patient population and we have an extremely large volume of cases that provide an exhaustive clinical experience covering the depth and breadth of Obstetrics and Gynecology for our residents. With sixteen full-time residents, four residents per level, there is ample opportunity to work with the faculty. The faculty strives to prepare the residents for clinical practice and for academic fellowships.

Curriculum

The Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program at Atrium Health Navicent is a Mercer University School of Medicine affiliated program that accepts 4 interns per year giving us a total complement of 16 residents annually. We have rigorous specialty and sub-specialty services that give our residents the experience necessary to practice in any setting. We have a Perinatal Regional Outreach Program that services 29 counties providing high risk obstetrical care in which our residents are heavily involved. Our Urogynecology and Gynecologic Oncology services also provide care for more than 30 counties in the Middle Georgia area and our residents are again front-line caregivers for these patients. These higher levels of care services provide the pathology and varying treatment options that give our residents an edge in the fellowship and post graduate job market.

The primary focus of all faculty members is the education of residents. Our residents have protected weekly didactic time where all faculty members participate to provide a comprehensive learning experience. These include:

• Monthly morbidity and mortality conferences
• Monthly journal clubs
• CREOG reviews
• Written and oral board prep
• Practice Bulletin/Committee Opinion reviews

There are 13 four-week long block rotations in each resident year. The following is a listing of the rotations each year:
