Residency Programs

Curriculum

We have designed our OB/GYN residency curriculum to provide progressively advanced training and responsibility in obstetrics and gynecology. Residents have active, direct involvement in patient care, both through inpatient responsibilities and through a supervised ambulatory care program. 

OB/GYN curriculum goals 

Adventist Health White Memorial’s residency program goals include:

  • To embrace the mission of service in medically underserved communities with compassion and culture competence.
  • To foster residents’ leadership skills, both in social awareness and in interdisciplinary collaboration.
  • To promote scholarly activity and continued growth in research.
  • To incorporate professional and personal well-being and balance.

OB/GYN residency rotations 

Our residents have rotations through several clinical venues. Each year, our clinical venues provide over:

  • 4,100 deliveries
  • 4,600 surgeries
  • 27,800 outpatient visits

Moonlighting

Residents have opportunities for moonlighting both at Adventist Health White Memorial and off campus. Moonlighting must be approved by the program director and must not interfere with a resident’s duties and responsibilities.
