The SUNY Upstate Residency Program began in 1952. We currently have a team of 20 residents, assigning 5 residents for each post-graduate year. The medical facilities in Syracuse serve a 21 county area as a major referral center and thus draw patients from the entire region as well as the population of the metropolitan area.

Mission Statement

Our residency program has the mission of training and supporting the next generation of OBGYN physicians, surgeons, and clinicians to practice in an ever changing and technologically advancing world and do so as lifelong learners. This mission is accomplished through the care of a diverse patient population including the refugee, Native American, working poor, substance use disorder, family planning, high risk obstetric and complex gynecologic and GYN Oncology patients. This mission and dedication to the community parallels that of our University. Simulation, Quality Improvement research and Clinical research are all tools utilized by our program to accomplish this mission.

Facilities Include

Gynecology rotations are done at University Hospital and Crouse Hospital. University Hospital is a 350-bed facility which is staffed entirely by College of Medicine full-time and clinical faculty. It also houses office, out-patient, teaching, and research facilities. Crouse Hospital, a private 600-bed facility, is a major affiliate of SUNY Upstate Medical University. The obstetrics rotation are done entirely at this hospital.

Close collaboration with nearby health facilities is ongoing. A balanced experience is offered in the community hospital setting as well as in the tertiary care programs of our University Hospital.
