  • Program Information

    The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology offers a four-year accredited residency program designed to provide extensive experience leading to board certification. The OB/GYN residency program started in 1951 and has grown steadily over the years, in both the number of residents and faculty. We currently accept 7 residents every incoming class. Our residency program is a hybrid of academic and community programs. Like many community programs, we have a high volume of patients. These patients have two distinct groups of providers: Patients that are seen in resident clinics, high risk OB clinic, local health departments, no prenatal care/no physician provider, and transfers from outside facilities are all provided care by the residents/faculty. And, there is a large number of private practice physicians who bring their patients to our facility for both obstetrical care and gynecologic surgery.

  • When should I take my teenage daughter to the gynecologist?

    Many parents wonder when they should take their daughter to a gynecologist. Is it with their first period? Is it when they become sexually active? When do they need a pap smear? Some women dread their own appointments and worry their daughters will have a traumatic experience. Well, the good news is that gynecologic care for adolescents has come a long way, and teens can be provided with important information in a sensitive and caring way, and many girls do not even need a pelvic exam!

    What's normal?

    First, let me cover a bit of what’s normal. Most girls begin breast development around 10-11 years of age, and the average age girls start their periods in the U.S. is about 12.5 years. Most girls will bleed 5-7 days and cycles occur every 25-40 days. If a girl hasn’t started her period by age 14, she should be evaluated, and although some girls just need more time, others may have a real problem. Many girls have irregular menses for the first 2-4 years after they start their periods, but if a girl has been bleeding more than 10 days per month, they should be evaluated to prevent problems with anemia. I’ve seen girls who have bled for 6 months before seeing a gynecologist and some have been so anemic by then that they required blood transfusion. Most girls will notice an increase in menstrual cramps about two years after they start their periods, as this is when they start to actually ovulate. Severe cramps so that a girl is missing school are not normal and she should also be seen. Finally, if a girl has had regular menses and then the menses become irregular, skipping months or becoming more frequent, she should also be evaluated. Sometimes there is a hormonal disorder that needs to be evaluated.

  • Orthopedic Residency

    Welcome to the Orlando Health Orthopedic Residency website. As you will see, our program offers a well-balanced education in Orthopedic Surgery, with a strong emphasis on "hands on" operative experience. Our faculty consists of a hybrid of full-time academic surgeons and private practitioners, all of whom have dedicated a significant portion of their time and effort to resident education. Unlike many university-based programs, our high-volume caseloads offer a rewarding operative experience, beginning early in training. Our rotations are consistent, with each resident completing the same rotations through sports, spine, joints, hand, as well as the other areas of service. This consistency has allowed us to identify faculty members who truly want to teach and are willing to allow residents to participate heavily in surgical procedures. This also allows the resident to learn nuances from various faculty from both the perspective of an employed academic practice and a private practice.
