View Full Paper
DADavid A. Asch

Key Points

  • To determine whether obstetrics and gynecology residency training programs can be evaluated and ranked based on maternal complication rates among their graduates' patients.
  • Evaluated obstetrics and gynecology training programs by tracking maternal complication rates among patients treated by program graduates.
  • Assessed the consistency of program rankings across individual complication types and analyzed their relationship with residents' licensing examination scores.
  • Obstetrics and gynecology residency programs were successfully ranked using maternal complication rates from their graduates' patient cohorts.
  • Program performance rankings demonstrated consistency and stability across different categories of maternal complications.
  • Complication-based residency rankings showed no significant association with residents' standardized licensing examination scores.

Abstract

Obstetrics and gynecology training programs can be ranked by the maternal complication rates of their graduates' patients. These rankings are stable across individual types of complications and are not associated with residents' licensing examination scores.
