Mission Statement
The Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program at the University of California, San Francisco trains physician leaders and advocates who provide innovative, compassionate, and exemplary comprehensive health care by:
- Centering health equity, anti-racism, and anti-oppression in clinical care and in education, particularly for Black and Indigenous individuals, people of color, trans and nonbinary individuals, and immigrant populations;
- Caring for individuals, families, and communities within a variety of settings, leveraging inherent strengths of the community and demonstrating cultural humility;
- Applying scientific evidence within a person-centered framework to deliver dignified and just sexual and reproductive health care;
- Fostering interprofessional and multidisciplinary collaboration and building a diverse workforce, inclusive of historically and contemporaneously excluded communities; and
- Inspiring and preparing thought leaders, researchers, and advocates to transform the practice of obstetrics and gynecology locally, nationally, and internationally.
Clinical Experience
Our residents graduate independent and competent to perform general obstetrics and gynecology. We have a robust obstetrics and gynecology simulation program as well as having an independent hysteroscopic, laproscopic, and robotic curriculum. All major subspecialties are reflected, including MFM, Urogyn, Gyn Onc, Migs, CFP, and REI. We provide care across San Francisco and the broader West Coast serving patient in many different communities and care environments.
Rotation ScheduleAbout Us
Did you know that our 2018 residency class was the first at UCSF made up entirely of trainees who were underrepresented in medicine? At UCSF, we believe and research confirms that a diverse medical workforce leads to better health outcomes for everyone. This looks like patient-centered care delivered with compassion where patients are seen, heard, and valued and where shared language and shared lived experience truly matter.

The UCSF Residency Program in Obstetrics and Gynecology commits to understanding how histories of oppression, exploitation, and mistreatment of Black and Indigenous communities and other historically excluded communities led to the creation of our specialty and contribute to current inequities in reproductive health and gynecology. We honor the legacies of Lucy, Anarcha, and Betsey in our commitment to reproductive justice, equity, and human rights in our healthcare delivery, research, and education. We are invested in ensuring that all individuals have access to language and race concordant health care as well as to comprehensive reproductive and sexual healthcare, including abortion, contraception, surgery, fertility services, and preventive care. We take immense pride in serving women, and we celebrate the opportunity to care for patients of all gender identities, regardless of sex assigned at birth.
We vow to advocate around issues that affect our patients and their autonomy and for services that maximize the ability of individuals and communities to experience well-being. More so, we refuse to shy away from courageous conversations and advocacy as we know that the care we provide will only be transformed by unrelenting activism, community engagement, and systemic change. We pledge to deliver high-quality, evidence-based health care to all patients, to practice with true collaboration with other health workers, disciplines, and community-based organizations, and to provide a safe, inclusive learning environment for trainees of diverse backgrounds and learning styles. As a residency program based at a public institution, we strive to align our training to the larger societal needs and to prepare OBGYN physicians for careers of service. In our pursuit of clinical excellence, equity and justice, and transformative practice, we pledge to hold ourselves and those around us accountable.

UCSF faculty and students continue to push the advances in criminal justice healthcare that Sufrin helped pioneer. Dominika Seidman MD MAS, assistant professor in the UCSF Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, now advises for the “Health of Incarcerated People” elective. ”This work is particularly vital in a state like California. We have one of the nation’s two largest prison systems, and decades of litigation have illustrated the close connection between correctional policies, overcrowding, and poor quality medical and mental healthcare.”
TheCentering Pregnancy Program at UCSF Women's Health Center takes women out of exam rooms and into groups for their prenatal care. Women complete the conventional medical history and physical exam in a doctor's office or clinic and then are invited to join a group of eight to 12 women or couples who have similar due dates. Groups, which are formed between 12 and 16 weeks of pregnancy meet regularly throughout the pregnancy. The groups continue to meet through the postpartum period, meeting every month for four months and then bi-weekly.
Opportunities to work in Global Health
Taking care of our underserved communities is a significant part of our mission. We define global health broadly and provide a myriad of opportunities for residents who desire to affect meaningful change on an international, national and the local level.
