POSTGRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION IN OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of South Carolina School of Medicine, and Richland Memorial Hospital, Columbia, South Carolina

In a survey mailed to all obstetric and gynecologic residents in January 1978, the content of residency training programs was evaluated in regard to quantity of procedures and quality of supervision. The interaction of family practice residents, nurse midwives, and nurse clinicians was explored as it related to residency training in obstetrics and gynecology. A resident's assessment of his or her training program and an evaluation of the various opportunities of continuing medical education were also included in the survey. The results confirmed the known lack of training in human sexuality problems and practice management, although it was demonstrated that nearly all residency programs provide adequate clinical experience in all other areas of obstetrics and gynecology. Family practice residents do not appear to be altering the quality of obstetric and gynecologic residency training. The survey also indicated that, in most cases, the wide variety of postgraduate educational material is being used by residents.
