Ob/Gyn Residency Program

With a cohort of 18 residents per class, UT Southwestern Medical Center’s Ob/Gyn Residency Program trains a remarkable number of obstetrician-gynecologists each year – approximately one of every 80 Ob/Gyns in the United States is a graduate of our program. Our reach extends nationwide, meaning you can encounter our accomplished graduates throughout the country.

Our ACGME-accredited, four-year training program is designed to prepare residents for successful and autonomous practice in obstetrics and gynecology.

We are dedicated to shaping future obstetrician-gynecologists by providing unparalleled education, abundant research opportunities, and comprehensive clinical experience.

Our esteemed department faculty, under whom our residents train, literally wrote the book on what we do. If you've read the pages of Williams Obstetrics or Williams Gynecology, you've already started learning from UT Southwestern experts, the authorities in the field.

After Residency

Our residents' career interests vary, with about half going immediately into independent practice and half choosing to pursue a fellowship post-residency.
