Welcome Letter
Dear Residency Candidate:
Welcome to University of Michigan Health-West OBGYN Residency Program in Wyoming, MI. Our mission is to educate our resident physicians and prepare them for the broad scope of obstetrics and gynecology while also providing excellent and evidence-based care for our diverse patient population in the community setting.
Our curriculum will provide you with ample exposure to all aspects of care in the operating room, labor and delivery, and ambulatory settings in both obstetrics and gynecology.
Over the four years at UMHW, our residents experience rotations in gynecologic oncology, maternal fetal medicine and ultrasound, reproductive endocrinology and infertility and many other rotations selected to provide the very best clinical preparation for their future careers. Elective rotations can be tailored to fit the interests of individual residents and their desired experiences.
Our program excels in several areas. First and foremost, our robust surgical and clinical training prepares our graduates for independent practice. Our training environment is collaborative and supportive with a strong focus on teamwork and maintaining a positive culture amongst residents and faculty. Our resident physicians also play an active role in lectures and simulations and teaching medical students, contributing to the overall success of our program.
Successful graduates have transitioned to practices throughout the United States in a variety of professional situations including private practice, hospital employed practice, and academic medicine and fellowship. We welcome your interest in our training program and look forward to meeting you and working with you as you consider your future in medicine.
Sincerely,
Jordan Craig, M.D., FACOG
