The mission of Bayfront Health St. Petersburg Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program is to train resident physicians to be knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring physicians. Our program will allow resident physicians to acquire the basic knowledge of obstetrics and gynecology to better serve the diversity of women and those underserved in our communities.
Aim
After four years at Bayfront Health St. Petersburg Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program, our graduating resident physicians will have developed superb clinical and surgical skills and have a 100% pass rate on both the qualifying and certifying exams.
Goals
Our goals reflect the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) core competencies of Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, Practice-Based Learning and Improvement, Systems-Based Practice, Interpersonal and Communication Skills and Professionalism.
Our training program uses progressive and graded responsibility and strives to:
- Train residents to develop a comprehensive medical knowledge base that will allow them to provide the best possible health care for women in obstetrics and gynecology.

- Train residents that are able to translate their medical knowledge into effective clinical care and are able to communicate effectively with patients and their families.
- Instill and foster a spirit of mutual respect, camaraderie and teamwork that will allow residents to work as an integral part of a healthcare team.
- Establish a habit of life-long learning and desire to assist in the education and training of residents and medical students.
- Offer opportunities to develop and foster professional, ethical and leadership skills that can be used during residency as well as in their lifelong career in medicine as academic or community leaders.
