A Residency With a Future!

The Obstetrics/Gynecology Residency Program at Lankenau Hospital began more than 50 years ago. Today, 31 obstetricians/gynecologists serve on the active medical staff at Lankenau, 16 of whom trained here. The program involves four post-doctoral years, and includes a total of 12 residents. Residents function as a team with the attending staff, medical students, nurses and non-medical personnel. It is the resident's responsibility to learn from these contacts and to assist in teaching at all levels.

Graduated Responsibility
Throughout the program, residents spend time in different clinical settings and specialties performing diverse tasks. These tasks increase in complexity and responsibility as you progress though the residency. The program permits graduated responsibility for patient care. All patients, both private and clinic, admitted to the Ob/Gyn service are teaching patients. For example, the experience gained by a 2007 graduate of the program included 418 major gynecologic operations and 703 deliveries, of which& more than 300 were Cesarean Sections.
