Training and Education
At the OMECO at Oklahoma State University Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program, residents receive comprehensive training in all aspects of women’s health. Our program offers robust exposure to high-risk obstetrics, complex gynecologic cases, and a balanced continuity clinic experience that prepares residents for any future career path in the field of OB/GYN. Our graduates are extensively trained, leaving the program with the confidence and competence to practice independently in a variety of settings.
Didactics
Protected didactics is emphasized at our program, ensuring dedicated time for learning with participation from residents, faculty, subspecialists, and experts from other specialties. Our didactics take place every Friday afternoon, with designated weeks set aside to give residents protected time to focus on wellness. Our state-of-the-art simulation center is frequently used for hands-on training, allowing residents to refine their skills in a supportive environment. With a strong focus on excelling in both CREOG examinations and the OB/GYN board exams, our program ensures residents are prepared for both written and oral board examinations upon graduation. Note that all residents are certified in Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) or Essentials in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (EMIGS) by the end of their third year of residency. Graduating residents also have an opportunity to obtain their DaVinci robotic equivalency certificate upon graduation.
