Leadership Development

We want our residents to develop into obstetrician/gynecologists that will continue to promote and enhance women’s healthcare in their future. During their training, we empower our residents to get involved to impact change and progress, in line with their own career ambitions and passions through resident leadership in the program, institution, community, and beyond.

Some examples of resident leadership include:

  • Resident Liaison to the OBGYN Interest Group

“I chose the OB/GYN residency program at UT Health San Antonio because of the supportive and collaborative environment I experienced as a medical student here. The interactions with faculty and residents during my rotations were incredibly positive, and I knew this was the right place for my residency training. The diverse patient population and comprehensive curriculum promise to provide me with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in my career. I am excited to be part of a program that is committed to research and innovation, and I look forward to growing both as a clinician and a scholar in this exceptional community.”
