Program Perks

The BWH/MGH OB/Gyn residency program offers additional benefits to our residents:

1. Pitcher/Garrett Fund:
   • The Garrett Fund was established by Dr. and Mrs. John Calvin Garrett, M.D., in honor of their daughter, Audrey Garrett, MD, who was a fellow in gynecologic oncology at Brigham and Women's Hospital. The fund is named in memory of Audrey's grandmother Jessie Campbell Garrett who as a young woman performed missionary work in China. Jessie's life-long commitment to helping others in need is an inspiring example for which Audrey and her family are grateful.
   • Dr Betty Pitcher is an honorary member of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at BWH. Dr Pitcher was a full time obstetrician in our facility from July 1980 through 2003. At the time of her retirement from clinical practice an endowment was set up in her honor; “Beatrice L Pitcher Endowment for Healthy Pregnancies”. A portion of the endowment is being utilized for funding for PGY 3’s elective time in Global Health
   • The Pitcher/Garrett fund grants OB/GYN residents up to $3,000 per resident to support a six-week elective rotation at medical facilities for underserved populations
2. Resident Research & Education Funding
   • Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital have a vested interest in supporting the professional growth and development of the physicians in our residency program. As such, the Resident Research and Education fund (R&E Fund) is set up at BWH and MGH to fund resident travel to national conferences for presentation of research conducted during their residency. Funding for high profile district scientific meetings (ie ACOG district meetings or NEAGO) are considered for funding as well.
3. GME Stipend
   • Starting in academic year 23-24, Mass General Brigham instituted a $10K annual stipend for residents in GME approved programs.  The stipend is intended to assist with the cost of housing, child care and any other financial challenges.  This stipend is in addition to the annual salary paid to trainees.
