Education and Training

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology provides education to medical students, residents, and fellows in a number of dedicated programs.

Most notably, the UT Southwestern Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program trains more residents per year than any other Ob/Gyn residency program in the country – about 1 in 80 Ob/Gyns are trained at UT Southwestern.

Medical Students and Clerkships

We participate in medical student education every year of medical school, with major effort during the second through fourth years. These clerkships provide a broad breadth and depth of experience to our students under the guidance of dedicated and experienced faculty members.

Additionally, we offer clinical rotations through an extern program that allows students from other medical schools to train with us.
