Graduates are prepared to be specialists in obstetrics and gynecology, to act as consultants for other physicians, and to achieve certification by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.\u00a0\u00a0Our mission is accomplished through an educational program that includes active engagement with the clinical, educational, and research work of the Department\u2019s divisions which represent the entirety of specialty and subspecialty care in OBGYN, as well as global women\u2019s health.<\/p>\n<p>The community served over the course of the four years of residency training will include the local, regional, and national communities of patients referred to the University of North Carolina Department of OBGYN. The mission of the OBGYN Residency Program directly aligns with the mission of the sponsoring institution, UNC Healthcare, which is to serve the citizens of the state of North Carolina and those who present to us for care from beyond our state\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n<h2\n\t         id=\"thumbs-up\"\n\t         class=\"icon center fa-thumbs-up\">Why Choose UNC?<\/h2>\n\n<!-- iframe plugin v.5.2 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P2FkVj8B5es?si=6rplNuLwvkAIahCj\" title=\"OBGYN Residency Program Overview\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
