Care for a diverse patient population in an impactful and real way. Beyond supporting an underserved and underinsured patient population in Chicago, you can also work with community health workers on outreach and collaborate with Sinai Community Institute to support health and social service programs.

To be an excellent OBGYN, you need to be challenged. At Sinai Chicago, you’ll navigate a high volume of gynecologic surgeries, obstetric services, and high-risk cases. You’ll also train in a range of specialties from operative laparoscopy to reproductive endocrinology to family planning. You’ll encounter nearly every type of patient imaginable.

You’ll engage in learning opportunities like grand rounds, journal club, monthly and quarterly lectures, ambulatory clinic, family planning, and maternal-fetal medicine (MFM). You’ll also be matched with a faculty mentor and get to become an educator yourself by working with rotating medical students from surrounding schools. Finally, the Didactic Learning Program sets aside weekly protected time, when residents are excused from clinical duties to focus on didactic learning in a structured environment.

Become a part of a real community in the Sinai Chicago OBGYN Residency Program. With a robust wellness program, annual residency retreats, and quarterly wellness activities (think kayaking, karaoke, paintball, go-karts, cookouts, and even spa days), you can benefit from the camaraderie and support of your fellow residents.

The program covers the conference attendance for ACP, ACC, SGIM, SHM, or any other national conference if an abstract submitted by a resident is accepted either for a poster or oral presentation. We offer educational leave for conferences, and up to 5 days leave for any fellowship or employment interviews. Educational stipends are also available in the amounts of: 

• PGY-1: $60,340.00 yr = $29.01 hr
• PGY-2: $62,671.86 yr = $30.13 hr
• PGY-3: $64,836.10 yr = $31.17 hr
• PGY-4: $67,594.18 yr = $32.50 hr
• PGY-5: $70,415.90 yr = $33.85 hr
• PGY-6: $73,343.71 yr = $35.26 hr
• PGY-7: $74,810.00 yr = $35.97 hr

You focus on caring for patients — we’ll support you to make that happen. You’ll receive an annual white coat, business cards, and as many days off as you need for fellowship or employment interviews. Let us take care of some of the financial strain, too, with a $300 annual book allowance, a monthly food allowance, discounted parking, discounted medical Spanish classes, plenty of conference opportunities, and ACOG fees taken care of. We also offer robust language interpreter services, including for American Sign Language.

Sinai Chicago OBGYN Residency Program’s Collaboration with Sinai Urban Health Institute provides you with access to resources for publications, ongoing research projects, and the expertise of epidemiologists who specialize in data analysis.

A thriving cultural hub, Chicago is the home to house music and hot dogs without ketchup. More than that, it boasts museums, the lakefront, the Obama library, that Bean on Michigan Avenue, and a booming arts scene. Chicago is easy to get around with ample public transportation — but also easy to get out of with nearby major airports. Plus, both the ACGME and AMA and pretty much any other medical association are headquartered here.
