Obstetrics & Gynecology Residency Program
Obstetrics & Gynecology Residency Program
Program Director's Message
The faculty of the MAHEC Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology are proud of the educational opportunities
being afforded to our residents. They have the opportunity to experience their training in Obstetrics and
Gynecology in a community setting facilitated not only by MAHEC faculty, but by many of our highly qualified
OB/GYN private practitioner clinical faculty. Rotations with other medical specialists, ER Physicians,
Radiologists, Anesthesiologists, Neonatologists, Pulmonologists, Critical Care Specialists, Pathologists,
and Family and Internal Medicine Physicians ensure a well rounded training program.
Our strong linkage with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of North Carolina in
Chapel Hill underlines our commitment to quality education. The visits by UNC-CH faculty to the MAHEC
Program complement the residents’ experiences in Asheville.
The MAHEC OB/GYN Residency Program collaborates with the MAHEC Family Practice Residency Program and other
trainees at MAHEC. These interactions, along with day-to-day consultations with medical and surgical practicing
subspecialists in the Asheville community, demonstrate for the residents the importance of inter-specialty
cooperation in the delivery of high quality health care.
The role of the Obstetrician/Gynecologist as a provider of both primary and preventive health care services
to women is stressed in this program. The graduates of the MAHEC OB/GYN Residency Program should be able to
integrate easily into fellowship programs or the health care delivery systems of both today and the future.
The faculty and I are pleased with your interest in the MAHEC OB/GYN Residency Program.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Buys, MD
OB/GYN Residency Program Director
