Obstetrics and Gynecology The residency program in Obstetrics and Gynecology at McGill University takes place at the McGill University Health Center (MUHC). The MUHC is comprised of the Royal Victoria Hospital, the Montreal General Hospital, the Montreal Children's Hospital and the Montreal Neurological Institute. The Sir Mortimer. B. Davis Jewish General Hospital and the St. Mary's Hospital Centre are additional and important training sites. The teaching resources of these hospitals include 13,000 deliveries annually and a commensurate level of gynecological surgical cases. The Royal Victoria and the Sir Mortimer. B. Davis - Jewish General Hospitals are regional centers for high-risk obstetrics and for neonatal intensive care. Curriculum Training is of five years' duration and is correlated with the training requirements of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. The overriding emphasis of the program is excellence in education rather than service. The program is unique in the number of elective opportunities that are offered and the emphasis on resident research. The R1 year includes rotations in obstetrics and gynecology, endocrinology, ambulatory care in ObGyn, hematology, emergency medicine, Surgical ICU, neonatology(NICU), and ObGyn ultrasound. The R2 year is designed to provide a core experience in obstetrics and gynecology. The R3 year is designed to provide a core experience in the obstetric and gynecology subspecialties: rotations in maternal fetal medicine, reproductive endocrinology/infertility and gynecological oncology. In addition one period is devoted to the resident's research project. The R4 year of the residency ensures that the trainee will have a broad range of experience. The options include further research and elective opportunities that can be selected from colposcopy, adolescent gynecology, urogynecology, ultrasound in ObGyn, ambulatory obstetrics and gynecology, or epidemiology. A three to six month rotation in our community-based program, at Gaspe, Cowansville or Gatineau is mandatory. Full financial and housing support is provided to residents at that time. In the R5 year, the trainee assumes the responsibility of chief resident. Six months of experience as Chief Resident is divided between obstetrics & gynecology. The remaining part of the year is designed to meet the needs, interests and future of the individual resident. Elective opportunities can be selected from maternal fetal medicine, reproductive endocrinology/infertility, laparoscopic surgery, general surgery and pathology.Research A major emphasis of our program is resident research. We foster and encourage it; we especially welcome residents who have research interests. Each resident in our program has a mandatory research project. There is ample time and resources available for completion of resident research projects. Special consideration will be given to residents who are planning an academic career to carry out extended research projects. Statistics help will be offered to all worthy projects and funding is available for completed projects to be presented in Local, National and International meetings. Seminars Each of the participating hospitals conducts its own series of seminars and teaching sessions. In addition, there are weekly subspecialty conferences and a weekly Academic Half-Day for all residents, which includes case presentations, didactic lectures and journal club. Your future as an Obstetrician and Gynecologist on completion of your residency at McGill is assured. You will have graduated from an internationally recognized, highly respected and demanding program. Our graduates have been welcomed and have excelled in every part of North and South America and in Europe, the Middle and Far East. It need not be said that this includes every province in Canada. One of the major strengths of our program is that we are an important part of a world class university. McGill University has an international reputation as a teaching and research institution. Members of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at McGill gain from our close collegial association with the rest of the clinical and basic science Faculty. The relationships are especially rewarding in our mutual research projects. The residency program at McGill has gone from strength to strength. In recent years the pace of change has been especially noteworthy. The program has an outstanding record both in success with examinations, with their ability to obtain fellowships and employment upon graduation and to win prizes at national and international meetings. Graduates are recognized as extremely well trained "all-rounders" that have a wealth of clinical experience and a unique research background. There are ongoing improvements and innovations to the program. To mention a few : there is generous support both financial and in terms of liberation from clinical responsibilities for resident research studies and presentations and attendance at local, national and international meetings and conferences; prestigious awards, the Molson and Alexander prizes are given annually for clinical or scientific excellence. The women's pavilion library at Royal Victoria Hospital and libraries at Jewish General Hospital and St Mary's Hospital Centre are newly furnished and is provided with the very latest in computer technology.For additional information please contact: Dr. Vincent Ponette Program Director,
