Resident Reporter Program

The SASGOG Resident Reporter Program promotes connections between residents in training and the specialty of general OB/GYN. This unique program affords residents the opportunity to develop leadership skills and provides exposure to current topics in OB/GYN.

Selected residents will receive a stipend (variable) applicable towards travel, registration fees and hotel costs. Registration includes attendance at the SASGOG Annual Meeting, as well the joint ACOG/SASGOG scientific session. Both events are being held in conjunction with the 2023 ACOG Annual Clinical and Scientific Meeting (ACSM).

Responsibilities of the Resident Reporter

Resident reporters are matched with a SASGOG faculty advisor prior to the meeting. The advisor meets with the resident reporter at the meeting, providing support and suggestions during the program and mentoring the essay described below.

  • Resident reporters submit a 800 word essay. Each reporter may choose his or her own focus. The essay should be related to a lecture, breakout session or discussion from the SASGOG Annual Meeting that was meaningful to the reporter. Working with their SASGOG mentor, the resident reporter develops this essay and submits it to SASGOG no later than June 15 of the year in which the meeting is held. All essays will be published on the SASGOG website.
