A wealth of scholarly opportunities exists in the University of Chicago Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program. In addition to hands-on clinical training, residents participate in simulations and operative skills development. Multiple teaching sessions include both lecture and conference formats. Meet our Ob/Gyn faculty education leaders here.
Resident Didactics
Weekly Resident Didactic Sessions at the University of Chicago are conducted in person for residents rotating at the Hyde Park Campus and via Zoom for residents rotating at Endeavor Health. Residents are excused from clinical duties during Friday morning didactic sessions.

Grand Rounds
Prior to graduation, all residents present a topic of their choice at Grand Rounds. Medical students from other institutions are welcome to join us on Friday mornings 8-9am CT. Sign up here.
Monthly Journal Club
All residents present at our journal club each month. This allows them to critically analyze ongoing research in the field. Department sections also host journal reviews.
Evidence-Based Medicine Day
All second-year residents participate in Evidence-Based Medicine Day. This yearly exercise is conducted each spring and is supervised by a leading authority in evidence-based medicine. Residents who participate in this exercise learn to critically assess the evidence that supports general obstetric and gynecologic practices. Below is a list of presentations from our 2024 Evidence-Based Medicine Day:
EBM Presentations
Research Projects
All residents conduct and present research projects. The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology's location at the University of Chicago allows our residents to have a myriad of collaborative research partner options - several members of our faculty have fully-funded research labs located on campus. As part of their training, residents conduct a wide range of research, including prospective studies, retrospective reviews, meta-analyses, cost-based analyses, and research lab-based projects.
Our residents have unlimited opportunities to meet their objectives. We provide a number of resources to foster their interests, including basic lectures on research, faculty mentorship, and funding for project needs, such as statistical support through the Health Studies Department. Many of our residents' projects are published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at societal meetings.
