Adventist Health White Memorial

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.
