Clinical Experience: Gynecologic Service

The gynecologic service cares for a large volume of patients with surgical needs. Over 5,000 major and minor gynecologic procedures are performed annually, including minimally invasive surgery and daVinci robotics procedures. Residents participate in the majority of these surgeries under the direct supervision of faculty. Educational emphasis is on graduated responsibility and operative experience for the residents. Each program graduate finishes with broad training in all aspects of contemporary gynecologic practice, experienced in a broad array of operative endoscopy, vaginal and urogynecologic procedures, as well as major abdominal, oncologic, reproductive endocrinologic and laser procedures.

Under the supervision of faculty, residents operate on their own patients from the continuity care clinics and actively participate in the operative and postoperative care of private patients. While on the subspecialty services and within their own clinics, residents participate in the outpatient postoperative care and longitudinal follow-up of surgical patients.

The Gynecologic Oncology Service spearheads the care of patients with invasive genital malignancies. Over 200 new patients and nearly 1,500 return patients are cared for annually on this service. The Gynecologic Oncologists perform over 150 major surgical procedures yearly with residents involved in virtually all cases, including radical surgery. A weekly Gynecologic Tumor Conference provides each resident an opportunity to experience the interdisciplinary approach to patient management.

Two sub-specialists provide reproductive endocrinology and infertility services, including assisted reproductive technologies. Each of these faculty members is dedicated to residency education. Together, they supervise a subspecialty rotation, provide didactic education support, provide and supervise operative experiences for the residents and supervise a specialty clinic within the Residency Clinic. A Ph.D. Embryologist staffs a dedicated Assisted Reproductive Technologies Laboratory.
