Program and Curriculum


HOME | Welcome | Program and Curriculum | Directors Message | Faculty Profiles | Application Process | Resident Physician Profiles | Central Coast | Marian

All of our core faculty physicians have experience with resident education and equally important practical community experience that is vital to patient care. The Santa Maria Women’s Health Center at Marian is the practice site for the program’s resident physicians and where they care for their own panel of patients under the supervision of dedicated OB/GYN faculty physicians. 

The gynecologic oncology experience is located at Mission Hope Cancer Center, also adjacent to the hospital. Here the residents team with our gynecologic oncologist and learn basic and advanced surgical procedures, including robotic surgery, for women with gynecologic cancers and complex benign gynecologic surgical problems.

The resident urogynecology rotation is both at Marian Regional Medical Center as well as out in Bakersfield. Residents  complete work-ups and evaluations of female pelvic reconstruction and urologic associated conditions and explore medical and surgical management.

The reproductive endocrinology and infertility experience focuses on transvaginal ultrasound, infertility evaluation and treatment as well as evaluation and treatment of endocrine disorders.

In addition, residents have opportunities to participate in seminars, simulation projects, journal club, M&M and other small group activities.
