Trends in Comparative Growth in Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Programs Over the Past 20 Years (2005–2024)
Obstetrics and gynecology residency growth has lagged behind that of other specialties both before and since the single accreditation system transition in 2015, highlighting a persistent gap in capacity to meet increasing demand. These findings highlight the need for focused efforts to match the growth of obstetrics and gynecology residency positions and programs with the expanding health care demands.
