Resident Committee
The Resident Committee acts as the national voice for residents within the SOGC. The objective of the Resident Committee 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 Committee 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 committee is represented on the board of directors and the Academic Council through resident representative positions.
The Resident Committee takes on a variety of projects each year through the work of its four subcommittees: Meetings & Conferences, Advocacy & Wellness, Postgraduate, and Undergraduate. The committee meets quarterly via teleconference.
