The Alliance continues its strong tradition as a dedicated training site for Tufts-New England Medical Center (NEMC) residency program. Third-year OB/GYN residents from Tufts rotate at The Cambridge Hospital for 10 weeks at a time. This rotation is an excellent, concentrated experience in gynecologic surgery. When not in surgery, the residents are supervised in medically challenging ambulatory settings. The resident is responsible for all inpatient management and decision making under the supervision of The Cambridge Hospital attending Obstetrician/Gynecologists. In addition, the resident supervises and instructs a team of medical students, physician assistants.

Three additional NEMC OB/GYN residents conduct continuity clinics at the Women's Health Center. These three residents care for both obstetrical and gynecological patients in weekly sessions, over three years of their training. Arthur Spector, MD, serves as the Medical Director of the Residency Program and oversees all of the residents' ambulatory sessions including colposcopy.

Medical Students Training Program

After many years of training third-year medical students from Tufts University, Cambridge Health Alliance continues to be among the top rated sites for student training. Under the director of Miriam Goldfarb, MD and Andrea Chisholm, MD the Tufts medical students receive a comprehensive OB/GYN rotation in both the ambulatory and inpatient settings. Cambridge Health Alliance received the highest scores for the Tufts third-year OB/GYN Clerkship. The students consistently reported that their experience at Cambridge Health Alliance was the best of the five hospitals surveyed.

Midwifery Training Program

The Alliance's Midwifery service has a superb reputation as a clinical training site for both basic and advanced students of midwifery. Recently, students were precepted from the University of Rhode Island Midwifery Program, Boston University Midwifery Program, and Yale University's Program in Midwifery.

Physician Assistant Training Program

The Alliance hosts Physician Assistant students from Northeastern University for their six week clinical training in Obstetrics and gynecology. The student functions as an integral part of the medical team, participating in births, surgeries, inpatient rounds, and ambulatory experiences. The PA student gains valuable medical experience as well as cultural competency during this rotation at Cambridge Health Alliance.
