Are you looking to get into the OB/GYN residency program of your dreams? We’ve got you covered! Here, we’ll give you the inside scoop on which OB/GYN programs have the highest and lowest number of publications, MD-PhDs, AOA, and Gold Humanism members among matched applicants. So, if you’re curious about OB/GYN or have a specific program in mind, you can learn all the details you need to maximize your chances of becoming an OB/GYN.

Which OB/GYN Residency Programs Require the Most Research?

As discussed previously, matched OB/GYN applicants have below-average numbers of abstracts, presentations, and publications.

Here, we’ll discuss which programs have the most – and fewest – publications among their residents. That way, you can make an informed decision and feel hopeful about getting into the program that’s right for you.

Let’s look at which OB/GYN residency programs have the most – and least – publications among their members. (NOTE: the data here report the Average number of peer-reviewed publications among matched applicants. This is more narrow – and restrictive – than the “abstracts, presentations, and publications,” measure found on ERAS and reported by the Charting Outcomes in the Match reports.)

Which OB/GYN Residency Programs Have the Most MD-PhDs?

Are you hoping to get into an OB/GYN residency program? Having an MD-PhD may help you stand out, but it’s not always necessary.

As noted previously, having an MD-PhD is associated with an increased likelihood of matching into OB/GYN as a specialty. Note that this is a relatively small advantage (~4% match rate increase for those with a PhD vs. those without).

Check out this list of OB/GYN residency programs in the US and their MD-PhD percentages.

While having an MD-PhD can give you a leg up on matching into OB/GYN, note that there are many (many) programs without an MD-PhD among their residents. In fact, there were only 32 programs that reported having any graduates from MD-PhD programs.

Which OB/GYN Programs Have the Most AOA and Gold Humanism Honor Society Members?

Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) and Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) memberships are two important factors in the OB/GYN residency matching process. AOA recognizes students and residents who excel academically, in leadership, and in professionalism, while GHHS recognizes individuals who show exceptional qualities in patient-centered care and humanism.

As noted before, AOA membership is associated with an increased likelihood of matching into OB/GYN.

Here we list the US OB/GYN residency programs and the % of their residents who were AOA or GHHS members. Note you can search for individual programs, sort the data, and many other useful things in your OB/GYN residency search.

OB/GYN Programs With the Most and Least AOA and GHHS Members

The OB/GYN residency programs with the highest reported percentage of AOA members are:

  • University of Utah Health Program
  • Vanderbilt University Medical Center Program
  • Women and Infants Hospital of Rhode Island/Brown University Program
  • University of South Florida Morsani Program
  • University of Alabama Medical Center Program
  • University of Colorado Program
  • Johns Hopkins University Program

The OB/GYN residency programs with the lowest reported percentage of AOA members are:

  • USA Health Program
  • SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University Program
  • St Louis University School of Medicine Program
  • University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine Program
  • University of Florida College of Medicine Jacksonville Program
Are AOA Numbers Artificially Low in the Most Competitive OB/GYN Residency Programs?

As we can see above, while AOA and GHHS membership can be beneficial, it’s not necessarily a critical factor in being accepted into an OB/GYN residency program.

For example, the Columbia OB/GYN program only had 43% of its residents with AOA memberships and only 20% with GHHS memberships. (The Columbia OB/GYN program is New York Presbyterian Hospital (Columbia Campus) Program).

So, why might some of the most competitive OB/GYN residency programs have fewer AOA and GHHS members? One potential explanation is that some of the most prestigious medical schools don’t have AOA chapters. For example, the medical schools at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and UCSF all lack AOA chapters.

Ultimately, it’s essential to remember that AOA and GHHS membership can be important factors in getting accepted into an OB/GYN residency program. However, they’re not the only ones. There are plenty of other ways to make your application stand out, such as having strong USMLE scores, letters of recommendation, and a well-crafted personal statement.

Concluding Thoughts

Publications; AOA and GHHS membership; and having a PhD can all benefit an application into OB/GYN. However, as we can see, different OB/GYN residency programs have different expectations as to what they are looking for in applicants.
