Ribbon cutting at UAMS Womens Center

The UAMS Women’s Center opened in August 2020.

Residents participate in outpatient care in Obstetrics and Gynecology (Continuity Clinics) alongside faculty members at the UAMS Women’s Health Clinic on a regularly scheduled basis. This includes both in-person care and digital health appointments to ensure residents are trained in different platforms of providing patient care.

Weekly didactics include Grand Rounds, STATs/M&M (Morbidity & Mortality), and Team-Based Learning. Other specialty conferences are offered on a once-a-month basis including Journal Club, Research Lecture/Project Reports. We also feature learning experiences through telecommunication with UAMS telehealth/telemedicine reaching over 70 sites across Arkansas.

Simulators are used to aid in the education of residents as well as provide updates for OB/GYN faculty members. A surgical skills class is mandatory for every first-year resident, which offers the resident an opportunity to improve their skills in wound closure.

Access to an on-site library, computers and books in the call room, and department researchers and faculty, offers continual opportunities for research and academic growth within Obstetrics and Gynecology. Research projects are presented by PGY-3 residents on a yearly basis, and are encouraged to present and/or publish research projects outside of the UAMS arena in the PGY-4 year.

The residency curriculum includes a range of experiences designed to provide exposure to both general and sub-specialty fields within OB/GYN, in addition to critical and primary care. Our program:

  • Is structured in accordance with the educational objectives for residents in OB/GYN as outlined by the Council of Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology (CREOG).
  • Is designed to ensure competency in all six of the core competencies required by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
  • Prepares residents to be certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG).
