does anyone know of any residencies with a reputation for friendliness? i know at my school there is no place more miserable and backbiting than the ob/gyn floors. i've heard this is the same at the med schools my friends go to. so where are the alternatives? assume that prestige of the institution doesn't matter but a solid education does. oh, and male friendly too.

What are of the country are you interested in? My interaction with the OB prog's has been so far pretty cool but I have heard that there are some bad seeds in the mix. Namely a former grad told me that The York Prog in Pennsylvania is pretty malignant.

Augmel,


What programs are you looking at? Most of the programs in the west have friendly training. I have talked with various program directors and found that it is good to be a male applying for OB/GYN now. I attend ACOG in New Orleans and one of the goals of ACOG was to get more male students interested in OB/GYN. I was told that 75% of women that go into OB/GYN after three years removed from residency either stop practicing completely or go to half time.

Hey AZDOC,

hey guys,

does this mean I have to count myself out because I am a female? j/k

as i have been researching programs, going on their website etc, it seems most programs are all predominantly female! amazing! but I don't think you guys have to worry...

augmel, what school do you go to? I agree, most programs have residents that seem generally unhappy and that is probably the cause of the snippiness...or it could be all the estrogen in one room!
