Ob/Gyn Residency Program Research

UT Southwestern’s Ob/Gyn Residency Program recognizes and supports the diverse career interests of our residents. Although our program does not have a resident research requirement, approximately half of our residents actively engage in clinical research.

UT Southwestern residents who participate in research are highly productive, and we encourage residents to present their findings at major national society meetings, such as the:

  • Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM)
  • American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL)
  • Society of Gynecologic Surgeons (SGS)
  • American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM)
  • Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO)

To facilitate our residents' professional growth, we cover the travel and registration expenses associated with presenting their work at such events. Additionally, our residents receive funded ACOG Junior Fellow memberships, which provide access to valuable resources and networks.

Each year, the UT Southwestern Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology hosts a stimulating Research Symposium to provide residents and fellows with a platform for sharing their ongoing work with their peers, mentors, and other faculty members on campus. This event encourages collaboration and celebrates the contributions our trainees make to the advancement of knowledge in the Ob/Gyn field.

A group of residents and faculty hold small trophies and celebrate following a research presentation event.
