Annual Clinical and Scientific Conference (ACSC) Resident Track
The ACSC Resident Track takes place in-person at the Annual Clinical and Scientific Conference (ACSC) every year in June. This track is designed to provide dedicated programming to residents with opportunities to engage with their peers, enhance their clinical knowledge, and support their professional development.
Resident Working Group
The Resident Working Group acts as the national voice for residents within the SOGC. The objective of the Resident Working Group is:
- to provide a forum in which ob/gyns in training can express opinions and recommendations pertaining to issues affecting training and practice;
- to create resources and CME activities for ob/gyn residents;
- to promote the specialty of ob/gyn to medical students and the community; and
- to address issues directly impacting on ob/gyn residents.
The Resident Working Group is made up of two representatives (one junior and one senior) from each of the 16 medical schools across Canada, as well as one fellow representative, two medical student representatives, and one board representative. The working group is represented on the board of directors and the Academic Council through resident representative positions.
The Resident Working Group takes on a variety of projects each year through the work of its four subcommittees: Meetings & Conferences, Advocacy & Wellness, Postgraduate, and Undergraduate. The groups meet quarterly via teleconference.
Meet the 2025-2026 Resident Working Group!
