How to Apply
The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology accepts six residents at the PGY-1 level and participates in the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) and in Residency Central Application Services (CAS). All applications from individuals who have completed or are completing requirements at an accredited medical school will be considered.
Stanford Medicine believes that a residency and fellowship program that is composed of individuals who are both highly qualified and diverse in terms of culture, class, gender, race, ethnicity, background, work and life experiences, skills, and interests is essential to the postgraduate education of physicians. Because of its strong belief in the value of diversity, we welcome appliants from those who identify as Black, Latinx, indigenous, immigrant, LGBTQ+ and other groups traditionally underrepresented in medicine.
