Living through an obstetrics and gynecology residency can be a grueling and time-consuming process. After four years in general obstetrics and gynecology, one can encounter many options in his or her career path. Some choose to dive right into the career world, while some will choose to enter into a more specialized fellowship program. Regardless of what path one chooses after the completion of an obstetrics and gynecology residency, the process can be daunting, with little concrete help along the way.
This text will provide a comprehensive review of what comes after the completion of an obstetrics and gynecology residency and will serve as a valuable resource for those physicians, residents and medical students interested in a career in obstetrics and gynecology. This book will review several areas of fellowships and how to navigate through the application process, provide a guide for finding a job and negotiating through your first position, and discuss other difficult topics such as how to deal with malpractice lawsuits. All chapters will be written by experts who have gone through the various paths and decision-making processes.
