The SGO Outstanding Resident in Gynecologic Oncology Award is for a single resident at each OBGYN program who best exemplifies the qualities of the mission and vision of SGO. The post graduate year (PGY) level of the recipient may be chosen by each individual program but should be consistent from year to year.

SGO offers congratulations to this year’s awardees, and gratitude for your commitment to gynecologic oncology. We look forward to the impact you will have for your patients and for the field.
