Curriculum

Resident Education:

Learning occurs within a broad spectrum of formal and informal experiences. The program offers residents the ability to study with departmental faculty, university scholars, invited international guest speakers, and the approximately 900 plus other residents and fellows training in the Detroit Medical Center. Faculty and residents work together in daily morning reports and rounds. Journal clubs, conferences, weekly grand rounds, web-based self-tutorials, American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology revidw materials, and mortality and morbidity conferences provide forums for educational advancement or a basis for discussion to nuture clinicial expertise. An annual allowance for educaitona materials (e.g., books, software, and chief resident course support) is budgeted for each resident. Regular classromm teaching sessions remain an integral part of the curriculm and are protected on a weekly basis.

OB/GYN Residents train at Hutzel Women's Hospital, Sinai Grace Hospital, Karmanos Cancer Institute and Huron Valley Hospital. The 48 Month Training Program consists of an approximent distribution of the rotations per year.

Our surgical curriculum provides residents with a structured progression of skills training, from core techniques to minimally invasive procedures. Through a blend of simulation, hands-on workshops, and operative experience, we ensure residents develop the confidence and technical expertise needed for independent practice. As part of this training, all residents complete the Essentials of Minimally Invasive Gynecology (EMIGs), ensuring proficiency in laparoscopic and hysteroscopic skills.
