	The Ob/Gyn Residency is based at Covenant Healthcare-Harrison in Saginaw where about 3,500 - 4,000 deliveries are performed each year.

	Residents are exposed to a variety of surgical procedures, and are trained extensively in laparoscopic procedures, both in benign gynecology and gynecologic oncology.

	Interim Residency Director Henry Moon, M.D., Assistant Director Ronald Hazen, M.D., Assistant Director Lori Wylie, M.D., Assistant Director Michelle Duncan, M.D are devoted full-time to the education and supervision of the ob/gyn residents. They all have extensive experience in the private practice of general ob/gyn.

	There are two full-time board certified MFM specialists available for consultation in high-risk obstetrics. They also provide training for the residents in obstetrical ultrasound.

	Our Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility is under the direction of Dr F. Nicholas Shamma who is a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist. This rotation allows residents exposure to the latest in Assisted Reproductive Technologies, including IVF, ICSI as well as IUI. In addition, residents have the opportunity to assist in surgeries for infertility, transvaginal ultrasounds and infertility related research.

	We have a Gyn-Oncologist that works with us providing 2 days of ambulatory gyn-oncology and 2 operative days. The PGY-2 year will receive 3 months on this service. As a PGY-4, the resident will spend 2 months as Oncology Chief, increasing responsibilities in both surgical and in ambulatory care.
