"Residency is a time full of challenges both mentally and physically, but also a time of incredible personal growth and development like you have never experienced before. Looking back, I can’t imagine going through those experiences without the incredibly supportive residents, nursing staff and faculty at UMKC. The friendships I developed the last 4 years (with both co-residents and faculty) will be ones that I cherish for a lifetime to come. During my time at UMKC I saw so many positive changes in our program particularly when it comes to resident education and learning. I know that would not have been possible if it were not for the drive of our residents to continually make improvements to our program and the dedication and commitment of our faculty to make us the best OBGYNs we can be. There is no shortage in the complexity and diversity of both patients and disease processes that you will encounter at UMKC and because of that you will leave with the knowledge and skills to tackle anything in your future career. As you can see from the list of alumni, many of us stay in the KC area to practice after residency. A huge testament to the wonderful city that KC is and the great relationship we have with so many of our local OBGYN colleagues. I am so blessed to be staying within the UMKC family and am excited to continue to serve patients in the KC area."

"I cannot say enough how thankful I am for the training I received at UMKC! Working at a variety of hospitals and alongside numerous highly qualified sub-specialists and generalists in the field of obstetrics and gynecology provided me with a wide variety of experiences in residency. The breadth and depth of training prepared me for taking care of patients in private practice. Living in Kansas City during residency was also a wonderful experience, and I greatly enjoyed all the activities the city had to offer.  I am thankful for each surgery I scrubbed into, every delivery I was a part of, and most of all the lasting relationships I formed with both the residents and faculty during my time at UMKC."

"UMKC is an amazing program with many different learning environments.  Because we rotate at multiple hospitals, I had the opportunity to learn from many attendings in all sub-specialties in different settings such as private practice, academics and in between. Each hospital had different protocols, EMRs and products which gave me the flexibility to move onto my next job with ease.  My training experience at UMKC fully prepared me for my career as an academic clinician.  This program also gave me many lifelong friendships. In fact, my fellow residents feel more like family and we have remained close even though we have moved away from each other.  I am grateful for my time and training at UMKC and feel confident that I have gained the knowledge and experience to provide exceptional patient care."

"I feel that UMKC’s residency in ObGyn has provided me with a strong foundation for private practice. The program provided an open and warm environment, adequate volume of obstetrical and gynecological cases, along with guidance necessary to excel independently in general ObGyn practice. I wiIl always cherish the faculty and staff at the teaching hospitals through which we rotated as residents. I am grateful to the teaching staff at UMKC for nurturing us from internship to chief year, and for the friendships created during the past four years. Good luck to all pursuing their dreams."

"It was truly a privilege to train at UMKC. I had an outstanding experience during my 4 years at UMKC. I had the opportunity to rotate at three hospitals, learning from multiple physicians with a variety of medical experiences. Learning from different generalists and sub-specialists allowed me to have a variety of opinions to learn from and really develop my personal style of how I wanted to practice medicine. I feel that the exceptional training I had at UMKC allowed me to be well prepared and successful when I started private practice. The attendings at UMKC truly cared about us as people and physicians and went the extra mile to ensure our success in the future. I am also grateful for the lifelong friendships I made with my co-residents along the way; it was truly a family experience where we supported each other. I am confident that my training at UMKC."

"UMKC gave me a very strong foundation to be successful during my fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. I was well prepared for the laparoscopic and robotic cases that I encountered. Throughout my training I received many practical lessons. To this day, I still can picture certain attendings sharing their wisdom. My training at UMKC certainly helped shape the physician I am today."
