Program Directors
The Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program at Rush University Medical Center is based in Chicago at an urban, academic medical center which serves a diverse patient population from the West Side of Chicago and across Illinois. Our nurturing learning community is dedicated to training empathetic and inquisitive physicians who are not only well-prepared to enter specialty practice and subspecialty training, but who serve their patients and communities with a lifelong commitment to bettering health disparities and outcomes.
Our residents develop a strong foundation in OBGYN through core and subspecialty rotations. Evidence-based medicine is emphasized and residents learn to critique the medical literature and care plans to provide excellent care for all patients. Residents are integrated into patient safety and quality improvement initiatives and participate in research across all disciplines. Moreover, we provide training in advocacy and medical education.
At Rush, we value diversity and strive to create an equitable and inclusive program that highlights each person’s unique background and skills. We welcome all highly qualified applicants. Our goal is to foster an environment that welcomes underrepresented in medicine and those who are diverse in terms of culture, class, race/ethnicity, gender, background, and work and life experiences.
Why Choose Rush? We are dedicated to education and high-quality clinical care for all patients and strive to create an inclusive training environment. We actively seek feedback from our residents and work to create a learning environment that supports each person individually and creates a collective team of intelligent and compassionate Obstetrician-Gynecologists.

"On behalf of the residents at Rush, welcome — we're so glad you're taking a closer look at our program. Training here means being part of a group that takes patient care, trivia, and karaoke seriously. We push one another to think critically, ask good questions, and never lose sight of the person behind the diagnosis.
What makes Rush different isn't just what happens in the hospital — it's what happens outside of it too. This program has built a real community, not just a rotation schedule. When residency gets hard (and it will), you'll have people in your corner who mean it. We're looking for future colleagues who bring their own perspective and care as much about equitable, high-quality care as we do.
We can't wait to meet you!"
