The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Carolinas Medical Center offers an accredited four-year educational and training program designed to impart the breadth of experience required for certification by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Graduates of this program will be equally prepared to enter general obstetrics and gynecology practice or pursue further training in a subspecialty fellowship.

The program is approved for six residents per year and divided into four years of graduated responsibility. The PGY-1 year consists of a variety of service rotations as well as extensive exposure to obstetrics. The remaining three years emphasize the specialty of obstetrics and gynecology and the recognized subspecialties. During the last two years of the program, residents will take on additional administrative and educational responsibilities.
