How to Apply
Applications from candidates must be submitted via the ResidencyCAS application through their medical schools or the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG). Applications can not be accepted directly by the department. Entry into the program for civilian candidates is through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). Entry of military candidates into the integrated residency program is through the Joint Service Graduate Medical Education Board.
Military applicants should follow the GME application instructions.
Candidates for this program shall have graduated from an approved medical school. Due to our integrated status with the United States Joint Service, candidates must be United States citizens or permanent residents. Candidates will be reviewed based on their performance in medical school, personal statements, demonstration of community involvement and leadership, and participation in research activities. A passing score on USMLE Step 1 and Step II or COMLEX is required for consideration. In keeping with national organization guidelines, interviews will be performed virtually, and candidates selected for interview will be invited by email through the Thalamus system. Interviews for civilian candidates take place at one of three interview sessions through November and December. Civilian residents will be employed by Premier Health Partners, with contracts reviewed annually, contingent upon satisfactory progressive application of obstetrical and gynecological skills, fund of knowledge and fulfillment of responsibilities.

A Message to Military Medical Students
Thank you for your interest in our Obstetrics and Gynecology Clerkship and Residency Program! Our program was established as a fully integrated military and civilian ob-gyn training program in 1976. We graduated our first Air Force residents in 1980. Our unique training platform allows our residents all the benefits of training in Miami Valley Hospital (a Level 1 trauma center) while also training in Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Medical Center to develop all the skills necessary to be a successful physician and Air Force officer. Our residents have a wide breadth of clinical experience and abundant patient volume and do not have to travel outside the local Dayton area for any of their training.
We’d love to hear from you and meet you. We’re more than happy to help arrange a USUHS or HPSP ADT rotation. You’ll not only experience Wright-Patterson Air Force Base during your rotation and interview, but you will also rotate and interview at Miami Valley Hospital with our Wright State faculty. All clerkship students interview during their rotation.
To request a USUHS or HPSP ADT rotation, contact the program at: dha.wright-patt.Wright-Patt-88th-MDG.list.wpafb-obgyn@health.mil.
If you are unable to schedule a rotation with us but are still interested in applying for a residency position, please contact the program at dha.wright-patt.Wright-Patt-88th-MDG.list.wpafb-obgyn@health.mil to schedule either an in-person or virtual interview.
