Who we are   

 

Our program is a 4 year ACGME accredited residency in general obstetrics and gynecology. We were recently approved for a total of 6 residents per year up from 5, beginning with the class of 2021. This expansion is allowing us to provide an even more diverse and impactful curriculum for our residents.   

 

We are proud to be a part of the USF department of Ob-Gyn, one of only a small number in the United States that also houses a fellowship program in fourof the ACGME accredited subspecialties: female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (also referred to as urogynecology), gynecologic oncology, maternal fetal medicine, and reproductive endocrinology. This is an objective way that we can show how dedicated our faculty are to education, and the ongoing scholarly efforts in our department. Although we do not have a fellowship in the newly accredited subspecialty of Complex Family Planning, we are proud to be a Ryan Residency Program.

 

Our residents train at Tampa General Hospital, which was recently named the #2 hospital in the state of Florida by US News and World Report, and is the highest ranked hospital with an Ob-Gyn residency training program on that list in the state. Our residents also rotate at Moffitt Cancer Center located conveniently on the USF main campus, which is a nationally renowned cancer center. We have a close relationship with our colleagues at Planned Parenthood, and our residents rotate through their clinics during select rotations. We also have two outpatient clinical sites, the TGH Healthpark Genesis clinic where residents have their continuity clinics and the USF South Tampa Center.   

 

The best asset we have as a program is definitely the residents that make up our USF Ob-Gyn family. They are intelligent, hard-working, and care about each other and their patients. They deliver high quality care to the women in this community and internationally, are active in research, and are strong teachers in their own right to each other, our medical students and other learners including the Physician’s Assistant Program students that rotate through our units.   

What we believe   

 

We believe that it is our responsibility to train residents in the skills and concepts necessary to practice obstetrics and gynecology, provide excellent patient care, incorporate the skills of evidence-based medicine and quality improvement, and work together to improve the health and quality of life of the women of the Tampa Bay area and beyond. We strive to do so in an environment that promotes scholarly activity, enhances interpersonal relationships, and with a mindful eye toward resident, fellow and faculty wellness and resilience.   

 

How we do it   

 

Through a combination of inpatient and outpatient experiences, protected didactic time, a rich curriculum including small group and large group learning, journal clubs, a dedicated wellness curriculum, focus on research including a designated mentoring program, exposure to the depth and breadth of conditions and procedures that an excellent obstetrican and gynecologist should be comfortable treating, all in the setting of a supportive faculty in the beautiful backdrop of Tampa, Florida.
