Mission Statement

The Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University is an institutional leader in resident education.

Raeonda Bullard

It provides the environment in which residents will master the principles of obstetrics and gynecology. The residency program will prepare its graduates to practice independently, act as expert consultants in their medical community, and enter subspecialty training or academic medicine. The residents act as teachers of, and role models for, the physicians of the future. The residency is committed to excellence, education and compassion.

The residency program in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Augusta University is a four-year progressive program. The program accepts five residents per year. All first-year (PGY-1) appointments are made through the National Resident Matching Program.

The goals of the residency are as follows:

  • To provide a sound educational experience in Obstetrics and Gynecology and the related disciplines.
  • To prepare residents in for board certification in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
  • To prepare residents to act as primary care providers for women and consultants to non-obstetric and gynecologic health care providers.
  • To prepare residents to act as team leaders in the provision of health care.
  • To expose residents to an academic and clinical environment that enables them to choose a career in clinical medicine, academic medicine, or subspecialization.

The residency program is conducted primarily at the Augusta University. Over 1500+ deliveries occur at the main hospital per year. A large number and variety of gynecologic procedures and surgeries are performed at the hospital. In addition to a large number of general obstetricians and gynecologists, all major sub-specialties are represented at the Augusta University: Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Gynecologic Oncology, Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.
