Our program is centered in the high-volume Crozer-Chester Medical Center, part of the Crozer-Keystone Health System - the fourth-largest health system in the Delaware Valley. The magnitude of our obstetrics and gynecology patient base allows our residents to gain ample and vast experience in all aspects of care, from general obstetrics and gynecology and primary care to highly specialized care in the areas of gynecologic oncology, maternal-fetal medicine, and reproductive endocrinology and infertility.

The Crozer Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program is a fully accredited comprehensive program with high academic standards that stresses evidence-based medicine while providing a supportive environment for learning. Indeed, our program is distinctive in a number of ways. The expertise of our esteemed faculty, for example, sets us apart from many other obstetrics and gynecology residency programs. Our faculty provide superb patient care and participate in sophisticated research; by their example, they train residents to do the same.

Because of the high number of infants delivered in our facility, Crozer-Chester Medical Center is an excellent place for obstetrics and gynecology residents to learn general and high-risk obstetrics. Our residents receive plenty of hands-on experience and are introduced to gynecologic surgery earlier in their training than in most ob-gyn residency programs. Residents are also given autonomy to make decisions on their own, yet the faculty are always available and ready to help when needed.

Crozer-Chester Medical Center's high-tech facilities offer specialized care to women - and great learning opportunities to our residents. Crozer's Antepartum Assessment Center, for example, provides outpatient evaluation and counseling for at-risk pregnancies, including genetic testing/counseling and maternal-fetal testing. Our Reproductive Endocrinology and Fertility Center provides reproductive health and counseling services, particularly to infertile couples, and runs a highly successful in-vitro fertilization program. The Crozer Ambulatory Ob/Gyn Department also provides a full spectrum of services to outpatients. Additionally, the hospital's busy Maternity Center delivers nearly 2,000 babies a year.

To be sure, we offer wonderful and unparalleled opportunities for residents specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. Our commitment to education and residency training was recognized in 1999 when we were accredited, on our first attempt, by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.

Thank you again for your interest. Please take the time to explore the Obstetrics and Gynecology website in its entirety and visit the other stellar residency programs that Crozer-Keystone offers.
