    Residency Program

Conferences



Residents are encouraged and supported in scholarly work, which may range from chart reviews to original laboratory or clinical research. At the R4 level, each resident is required to present a research paper to faculty and residents in September. Each resident, supported by departmental funds, may attend one national or regional medical meeting during their residency. Residents also attend a local postgraduate conference that is presented each year. Held in the fall, it is a general program in obstetrics and gynecology attended by approximately 200 physicians from Iowa and surrounding states. The University of Iowa Obstetric and Gynecologic Alumni Society, an organization of former residents, fellows, and faculty of the department, holds its annual meeting in conjunction with this fall conference. The program has a guest faculty of two or three nationally prominent individuals (whom the residents have ample opportunity to meet) as well as the departmental faculty.

The Alumni Society supports an annual visiting professorship, providing for an individual of international renown to spend approximately two weeks in the department. During this time the major portion of the visiting professor's time is spent with residents.
