Message from the Chair

Welcome to our Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program. Our mission is to prepare skilled, compassionate physicians who provide exceptional care to women at every stage of life. We strive to create a supportive learning environment where residents build confidence, develop clinical expertise, and explore their professional interests.

As our department grows, we continue to welcome faculty across OB/GYN specialties and expand opportunities for hands-on learning. Through surgical experience, comprehensive outpatient training, and close faculty mentorship, our residents gain the knowledge and skills needed for independent practice. Their feedback helps us strengthen our curriculum and ensure that education remains central to the residency experience.

Our commitment to education extends into the communities we serve. Partnerships across Oklahoma, including our collaboration with the Chickasaw Nation, offer residents valuable experience caring for rural and underserved populations. These experiences deepen their understanding of barriers to care and the importance of providing respectful, culturally informed care.

Looking ahead, we remain focused on thoughtful growth that enriches training while supporting resident well-being. I am proud of the dedication our residents, faculty, and community partners bring to our program. Together, we are preparing the next generation of obstetrician-gynecologists to lead with skill, serve with compassion, and make a meaningful difference in their communities.

Sincerely,

Gwendolyn Neel, MD
