Board Turnover Rounds (Sign Out)
Residents and supervising attendings “hand-offs” are an important patient safety and communication tool between the day and night shift. This time is utilized to discuss continuation of care on inpatients. This is the perfect opportunity to review findings, management and the plan for patient care. Labor and delivery management plans for each patient are also made and reviewed during the turnover of the Labor and Delivery board at 5pm.

Work Life Balance
Our residents work hard but have fun while doing it. Our residency program is known for its sense of comradery and the residents often get together outside of work! Whether it is a pot luck at someone’s home or a night out at the movies or a trip to the gym, our residents are always helping each other keep a healthy work-life balance.
Annual Retreat
Each year, the Ob/Gyn Residency goes on a 24-hour retreat. The retreat allows the residents to bond outside of work and relax in a fun environment. In previous years, the residents have travelled to the Poconos and Atlantic City. This is usually scheduled for mid July to allow for the new intern class to feel like a part of the group and for everyone to get to know them.
