To apply for an OB-GYN residency, candidates must have completed a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree. Additionally, they must have passed the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) or the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX). Strong letters of recommendation, a personal statement, and a solid academic record are also critical components of a successful application.
