Applying to the OBGYN Residency Program

Thank you for your interest in the Obstetrics and Gynecology residency program at Morehouse School of Medicine. This interview season, our residency program will use ResidencyCAS for application submission and virtual interviews. All applications must be submitted through ResidencyCAS for consideration.

Our program is following the 2025-2026 OBGYN Application Cycle Guidelines outlined in the Right Resident, Right Program, Ready Day One Grant (APGO). Thus, we are also participating in program signaling (Program Signaling for OBGYN Residency Applications). 

We participate in the National
Resident Matching Program (NRMP) for PGY-1 level resident positions and follow the AGPO/CREOG recommendations for the interview process. The recommendations include using a holistic approach to candidate selection, conducting interviews virtually and limiting interview offers to the number of interview spots. 

Contact the MSM OBGYN Residency Program at OBGYNResidency@msm.edu for questions and/or comments.
