Resident Testimonials
OB-GYN residency training can be grueling yet career affirming. The choice to learn in a supportive environment is what makes the experience unforgettable. UMKC provides the landscape to becoming a great OB-GYN, nurturing each learner’s strengths and weaknesses to ultimately be the best physician possible. Emphasizing academic rigor and dedication to patient care, the UMKC faculty and staff set the stage for the rest of your career. No idea is too big or too small when it comes to resident-led changes within the program. I am eternally grateful for the education I received while at UMKC. I value most the feeling of graduating as a competent, confident gynecologic surgeon. That, along with the lifelong friendships the UMKC family provides, makes the training I received at UMKC comprehensive and unforgettable.

When I look back over the last four years, I realize how much I have learned in such a short amount of time. This program teaches dedication, responsibility, proficiency and holds high expectations of its residents. What you don’t realize is, as you are growing professionally, this program nurtures lifelong friendships, celebrates the “whole person” and is just downright fun! I will cherish the memories I made during residency with my co-residents, staff and nurses, and look forward to making new ones as I take on a new role as faculty. I take pride in our program and can’t wait to continue to promote excellence in women’s healthcare here at UMKC. Future residents, these will be the hardest years of your life, but I would not have wanted to spend it anywhere else.

Residency at UMKC delivered on many fronts. At the end of four intense years, I left Kansas City with a wealth of knowledge, experience, skills, friendships, and let’s not forget stories, under my belt. Kansas City was a great backdrop to learn about everything OB-GYN. In my first two months of residency, I kept track of the amount of different nationalities that we served — 29! Through its diversity of practice settings, the program prepares residents well for either fellowship, an academic position or private practice. Comradery among the residents has been a longstanding selling point of the program, and I have confidence that it will continue to offer a supportive learning environment. And now that residency is finished and it’s time for new adventures, it is a reassuring thought that sound advice from one of the attending staff is always just one phone call away.
