As described in the History of the Department, the Medical College of Wisconsin Residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology dates back many years. The recent full integration of the three Milwaukee OB/GYN Residencies, which brought the total number of residents to 24 (6 positions per year), saw the first class of fully integrated chief residents graduate in June of 1995.
We are continuing to develop the Alumni Association which will meet annually at the Departmental CME Convention. If you would like to continue in or join the Alumni Association and have new address/phone/professional information, or would like to track down an alumnus, please contact Carol Kuhlmann, Residency Coordinator, at ckuhlman@mcw.edu or call (414) 805-6620.

Until July 1991, each hospital maintained a separate and successful residency program in Obstetrics and Gynecology with a long history of mutual affiliation. Beginning July 1991 the three residencies integrated into a single program and the first residents in the integrated residency completed their residency in June 1995.
Every resident who has successfully completed his/her postgraduate education at one of the three hospitals or in the integrated program has become board-certified or is board-eligible in obstetrics and gynecology. Since 1995 (the first year residents in the integrated residency program graduated) 8 residents have applied for and have been accepted into a fellowship. Their names, subspecialty and fellowship program are:
Over the past 20 years, approximately half of the residents who completed their education entered private practice in Wisconsin. Another 40% have entered private practice in one of about 30 states in the United States. The remaining 10% have chosen a career in academic medicine and have successfully competed for fellowships in gynecologic oncology, maternal-fetal medicine and reproductive endocrinology. Several residents over the past five years have also become full-time faculty or clinical faculty members associated with ob-gyn residencies, both locally and nationally.
