OB/GYN Residency
Adventist Health White Memorial’s OB/GYN Residency Program blends
academic excellence and clinical learning with compassionate, whole-person
care. Our residents bond through the shared mission to bring health, healing
and hope to our patients and community.
The OB/GYN Residency Program prepares residents to succeed in their professional
goals — whether that’s general OB/GYN practice, academic leadership
or sub-specialty fellowship training. We also embrace the fact that residents
are real people, who need rest and quality interpersonal relationships,
both personally and professionally.
Why Choose Our OB/GYN Residency?
OB/GYN residents are valuable members of our team. We emphasize interdisciplinary
care that focuses on treating patients as whole people. Residents in the
OB/GYN Residency Program benefit from:
-
Comprehensive, hands-on experience: At the heart of our program, residents and faculty are committed to excellence.
We provide a comprehensive, hands-on experience with rotations in gynecologic
surgery, reproductive endocrinology, female pelvic medicine and more.
Residents practice surgical techniques and simulate labor and delivery in our
Lyman A. Brewer III MD Simulation Center, which is available to residents 24/7. Our program averages 300 deliveries
each month. Residents follow their own panel of patients and build strong
patient-provider relationships throughout their four years in the program.
-
Diverse patient population: Our Program is immersed in a culturally diverse, medically underserved
community. This gives us purpose and meaning in our work and residents develop a
baseline approach of cultural humility. This rich, diverse experience
leads to graduates who are well-rounded, compassionate and competent.
Residents work in the Boyle Heights community of East Los Angeles, as
well as complete rotations in high economic areas for a diverse experience.
-
Participation in scholarly activity: Residents have opportunities to present at regional and national conferences
as well as publish research in peer-reviewed journals. Each resident must
present a research project during residency training, submitted in a format
suitable for publication. Faculty members promote research participation
and understand the importance of scholarly activity.
-
Collaboration and camaraderie: Our residents work hard — but we also have fun. In the OB/GYN residency,
we foster a sense of camaraderie and warmth toward each other. Residents
form strong friendships and bonds through a shared mission to serve the
community in a spirit of humility. At Adventist Health White Memorial,
we value work-life balance and
well-being. Residents have access to annual vacation time, our complimentary fitness
center (accessible 24/7), counseling services, and institutional well-being
events. We believe that physicians who care for themselves are even better
at caring for their patients.
