The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has awarded initial accreditation for Parkview’s new OB-GYN program, which is slated to begin in the summer of 2024. The four-year training program will accept five resident physicians per year, for a total of 20 resident physicians at full capacity.
Parkview’s is the third OB-GYN residency program in Indiana, and the first outside of Indianapolis.
While at Parkview, resident physicians will learn from faculty in multiple OB-GYN specialties, including hospital medicine, maternal fetal medicine, urogynecology and gynecologic oncology. In addition to caring for patients at Parkview hospitals, the resident physicians will provide outpatient care in the OB-GYN residency clinic, which will be located at 1818 Carew St., near Parkview Hospital Randallia. Patrick Woodman, DO, is serving as the OB-GYN program director.
Parkview now has five ACGME-accredited graduate medical education programs: Internal medicine, general surgery, transitional year, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and OB-GYN. Internal medicine and general surgery welcomed the first resident physicians in the summer of 2022, and the transitional year program will begin in the summer of 2023. The OB-GYN program will start in 2024, while physical medicine and rehabilitation is slated to begin in 2025.
“We are proud to grow Parkview’s graduate medical education program to help attract, train and retain more physicians in our region,” said Ray Dusman, MD, president, physician and clinical enterprise, Parkview Health. “OB-GYN, our newest program to receive accreditation, is one of the most in-demand physician specialties in Indiana. This residency will help expand access to comprehensive obstetric and gynecological care, meeting a critical need in our communities.”
Parkview has also received additional grants from the Indiana Graduate Medical Education Board. The board recently awarded approximately $3 million in extension grants for Parkview’s internal medicine and general surgery programs. Extension grants are designed to support new graduate medical education programs until the programs reach maturity.
