Physician Assistant OB/GYN Residency Program
Riverside County Regional Medical Center
Arrowhead Regional Medical Center
Thank you for your interest in the P.A. Residency Program in the Department of Women’s Health at Riverside County Regional Medical Center and Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.
The mission of the Arrowhead-Riverside Physician Assistant Residency program is to expand the knowledge of Physician Assistants in the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology. We believe that with intensive training our Physician Assistant Residents will be exceptional providers in the inpatient, outpatient and labor and delivery settings.
Residents typically graduated with having performed over 200 vaginal deliveries and first assist in over 50 cesarean sections. This program teaches Physician Assistant Residents to manage complicated and non-complicated antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum, postoperative, and acutely ill OB and GYN patients. The curriculum also includes L&D triage management, ER consultations, experience with evaluating and treating common GYN complaints, and routine OB and GYN outpatient care.
With focused post graduate training Physician Assistants can be an invaluable partner to Physicians or Obstetricians in an ever changing medical world. In addition to the larger mission of our program we are committed to delivering the highest quality of care to the underserved women of San Bernardino and Riverside County. The strength of our program lies in the superior educational experience provided in state-of-the-art tertiary care settings. Our residents are challenged to achieve their full clinical and personal potentials while being academically and emotionally supported.
The program is a twelve month residency. We offer our P.A. OB/GYN residents an annual stipend of 40K, as well as full medical, dental and vision health benefits. Education allowance, food allowance, malpractice insurance, vacation time, and DEA licensing will also be provided for our P.A. residents. Graduates will receive 50 CME credits after the completion of the course. P.A. residents also attend several conferences and training courses in which they receive additional CME credits. Student loan deferment is also available to residents.
Applications will be accepted on a continuous basis. Once your complete application is received, you will be contacted to schedule an interview. Class seating’s will be staggered throughout the year.
Once again, I thank you for your interest and look forward to speaking with you soon.
Sincerely,
Christine Sims
PA Residency Program Director
