Obstetrics & Gynecology Department
The Ob-Gyn Residency Department at Baystate Medical Center is dedicated to providing education in an academic setting that is friendly, supportive and fun. We have formal education that ranges from traditional didactic to hands-on curriculum to informal journal clubs in faculty homes. We work closely with medical students from Tufts University, and with residents in other specialties. Our goal is to help every resident in ob-gyn to reach his or her personal goals, whether it be through fellowship training, research or general practice.
