Obstetrics/Gynecology Residency Program

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. Residents function as a team with the attending staff, medical students, nurses and non-medical personnel. We are pleased to announce our resident compliment has increased. Starting with the 2009 match we will be matching 4 residents/year. In match year 2012 we will reach our full complement of 16 residents.

Graduated Responsibility

As described in the residency schedule, the program is designed for the resident to rotate within different clinical settings and specialties performing diverse duties. During the progression of the residency your duties will increase in complexity and responsibility. All patients, both private and clinic, admitted to the Ob/Gyn service are teaching patients. For example, the experience gained by a 2008 graduate of the program included 376 major gynecologic operations and 715 deliveries, of which more than 300 were Cesarean Sections.
