The University of Colorado Residency Program in Obstetrics and Gynecology has a long and proud history going back 60 years. We pride ourselves on training exceptional individuals who will make a difference in the lives and health of patients for generations both locally and across the country. Our training program is dedicated to providing opportunities for residents to experience the breadth and depth of Obstetrics and Gynecology through varied training sites throughout the Denver metropolitan area. Denver is an incredible place to live where our residents find time to enjoy all that Colorado has to offer.

In addition to basic Obstetrics and Gynecology training, we offer further training in quality improvement, palliative care, interprofessional education, advocacy and research through innovative curriculum developed by our committed faculty. Residents may choose to participate in a global health elective during their dedicated research rotation. The residents have early exposure to many of our subspecialties offering the opportunity to explore every facet of obstetrics and gynecology.    

Our clinical experiences are outstanding and prepare our graduates to succeed in their future careers, be that rural, private practice or as a fellow in any of the subspecialities. We utilize three hospitals under the auspices of the University of Colorado School of Medicine (University of Colorado, Denver Health Medical Center and Rose Medical Center) to provide varied clinical training and exposure to a large, diverse population of patients. Residents rotate through each of these hospitals for obstetric and gynecologic experiences.  Throughout their four years, residents experience graduated levels of responsibilities commensurate with their level of training; ultimately culminating in the opportunity to lead each clinical rotation as chief residents.

Resident education is provided through direct, supervised clinical care, weekly didactic sessions, simulation, and innovative curricula. Incoming interns participate in a summer long boot camp led by our education chief residents. There are specific didactics on residents as teachers, advocacy, basics of research, and quality improvement. Resident time is protected to attend departmental grand rounds which includes a yearly resident-invited speaker and Colorado Lobby Day.  We have dedicated Family Planning faculty who provide unparalleled opportunities in advocacy, research, and clinical training.

Education is part of our core mission within the department of OB-GYN at the University of Colorado.  Faculty are committed to providing an inclusive and supportive learning environment for all of our trainees. We are dedicated to promoting wellness and harnessing the potential of our residents. We believe that diversity in every form is a source of innovation and creativity that improves health equity for our patients and promotes overall health within our communities.
